Audi Q7 wheel fitment — 4L
Overview
The Audi Q7 is a full-size luxury crossover SUV, first unveiled in September 2005 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Production began in November 2005 at the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant in Slovakia. It was Audi's first SUV and went on sale in 2006. The Q7 utilizes a modified version of the Volkswagen Group PL71 platform, designed more for on-road use rather than serious off-roading. This generation introduced several engine variants including petrol V6, V8, and diesel V6, V8, and V12 options.
History & notable variants
Notable for being Audi's first SUV, the Q7 faced challenges such as recalls due to emissions issues and class-action lawsuits over brake squeal. It also received a facelift in 2010 with updated styling and interior features like LED lighting and an improved MMI system. The V12 TDI version was particularly significant for its performance capabilities.
Audi Q7 wheel fitment
Everything below is what the fit-check uses for Audi Q7 wheel fitment: the factory bolt spec first, then the width and offset window that clears the arches and the brakes on the Audi Q7 4L.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x130 |
| Centre bore | 71.6 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 | 7.5J–9.5J | ET22–ET55 |
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.
