Audi A4 wheel fitment — B8 Facelift
Overview
The Audi A4 B8 Facelift is part of the fifth generation (B8) of the luxury compact executive car produced by Audi AG, a subsidiary of Volkswagen Group. It was built on the Volkswagen Group MLB platform and succeeded the fourth-generation Audi 80/90 series. The B8 generation introduced significant changes over its predecessor, including an updated design language, improved interior quality, and enhanced technology features such as MMI (Multi Media Interface) navigation system. Production took place in Ingolstadt, Germany; Changchun, China; and Aurangabad, India.
Audi A4 wheel fitment
Start with the hub. The Audi A4 B8 Facelift spec table gives the bolt pattern and bore; the second table is the aftermarket window for Audi A4 wheel fitment.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x112 |
| Centre bore | 66.6 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 120 Nm |
| Seat type | radius |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | indirect |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6.5J–8.5J | ET18–ET45 |
Go wider and the offset has to rise with it, about 8 to 10 ET per extra 1J, or the wheel pokes past the arch. The fit-check settles the exact offset and any spacer.
UK popularity & demand
Based on DfT VEH0124 vehicle-parc data (2025), there are approximately 242,314 Audi A4 on UK roads, placing it in the top 1% of car models by volume across our fitment database.
A parc that size is why Audi A4 wheel fitment is worth getting exactly right: a lot of owners are shopping for these numbers.
