Audi A5 F5 Facelift — Wheel Fitment & Specs

It includes coupe, cabriolet, and Sportback variants, with the latter being a five-door liftback with a fastback roofline.

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 7.5J–9J | ET15–ET40 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8–10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
UK popularity & demand
Based on DfT VEH0124 vehicle-parc data (2025), there are approximately 129,895 Audi A5 on UK roads, placing it in the top 3% of car models by volume across our fitment database. That makes its wheel fitment a high-demand size to keep in stock — one reason we track its exact spec here.
