Audi R8 wheel fitment — 4S
Audi R8 wheel fitment
Audi R8 wheel fitment comes down to two things: the factory hub spec, and how far the aftermarket width and offset can move from it. Both are here for the Audi R8 4S (2015–2017).
| 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.
Overview
The Audi R8 is a mid-engine, 2-seater sports car that uses Audi's trademark quattro permanent all-wheel drive system. Introduced by Audi AG in 2006 and manufactured exclusively by Audi Sport GmbH at the Neckarsulm factory, it was inspired by the Lamborghini Gallardo but built on the Huracán platform for its second generation. The R8 is known for being the first production car with full-LED headlights. It underwent a facelift in 2012 and saw significant changes when transitioning to the second generation in 2015, including the introduction of an all-electric e-Tron variant.
