Audi R8 wheel fitment — 4S Facelift
Overview
The Audi R8 is a mid-engine, 2-seater sports car introduced by Audi AG in 2006 and manufactured exclusively by Audi Sport GmbH at the Neckarsulm factory. It uses an aluminium monocoque based on the Audi Space Frame and features Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system. The first generation (Type 42) was launched with V8 and V10 engine options, followed by a convertible Spyder variant in 2008 and high-performance GT models from 2011 onwards. A facelift introduced the V10 Plus model in 2012. The second generation (Type 4S) was unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, based on the Modular Sports System platform shared with Lamborghini Huracán, and featured all-electric e-Tron and V10 models.
History & notable variants
The R8's development began in 2003 as a concept car inspired by the Lamborghini Gallardo. It was officially launched at the Paris Auto Show in September 2006. The first generation ended production in August 2015, while the second generation continued until March 2024. Notable variants include the R8 GT and V10 Plus models, as well as a limited-edition Exclusive Edition for the US market featuring laser headlights.
Audi R8 wheel fitment
Everything below is what the fit-check uses for Audi R8 wheel fitment: the factory bolt spec first, then the width and offset window that clears the arches and the brakes on the Audi R8 4S Facelift.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x112 |
| Centre bore | 57.1 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 160 Nm |
| Seat type | radius |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | indirect |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 8.5J–11J | ET20–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.
