Audi Q3 wheel fitment — 8U
Overview
The Audi Q3 is a subcompact luxury crossover SUV produced by Audi since 2011. It uses the Volkswagen Group A (PQ46) platform, sharing components with vehicles like the Volkswagen Golf and Audi A3. The Q3 targets a lifestyle/sports market segment rather than family practicality or off-road performance. Its production began in June 2011 at SEAT's Martorell factory in Spain and later expanded to China, India, Brazil, and other markets.
History & notable variants
The first generation Audi Q3 was unveiled as the Cross Coupé quattro concept in 2007 before its production model debut at Auto Shanghai 2011. It received a facelift for the 2015 model year with updated exterior styling, including redesigned front lights and grille, and interior upgrades such as Alu-optic MMI controls. Notable variants include the RS Q3 (2013-2016) featuring a powerful 2.5 TFSI engine.
Audi Q3 wheel fitment
Everything below is what the fit-check uses for Audi Q3 wheel fitment: the factory bolt spec first, then the width and offset window that clears the arches and the brakes on the Audi Q3 8U.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x112 |
| Centre bore | 57.1 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 140 Nm |
| Seat type | radius |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | indirect |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6J–8.5J | ET14–ET45 |
Width and offset move together: roughly 8 to 10 ET more for every extra 1J keeps the wheel inside the arch. Final offset and any spacer come from the fit-check.
