Audi A8 wheel fitment — D5
Overview
The Audi A8 D5 is the fourth generation of the full-size luxury sedan manufactured by Audi from 2017 to 2026. It was built at the Neckarsulm factory in Germany and uses the MLB platform, featuring an aluminum chassis for lightweight construction. Compared to its predecessor (D4), it introduced advanced technology features such as Matrix LED headlights and a more sophisticated MMI infotainment system. The A8 D5 competes with luxury sedans like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series.
History & notable variants
The Audi A8 D5 was launched in 2017, marking a significant shift towards advanced technology and comfort features. In March 2026, it was announced that orders for the A8 were being phased out in Germany, signaling the end of this generation. Notable changes included a mid-cycle refresh (LCI) in 2020 which introduced new exterior styling elements and enhanced interior materials. The high-performance variant, Audi S8, also received updates to maintain its performance edge.
Audi A8 wheel fitment
Everything below is what the fit-check uses for Audi A8 wheel fitment: the factory bolt spec first, then the width and offset window that clears the arches and the brakes on the Audi A8 D5.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x112 |
| Centre bore | 66.6 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 120 Nm |

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 7J–10J | ET15–ET45 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8 to 10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
