The RS3 was produced from 2011 to 2012.
History & notable variants
The RS3 is notable for its high-performance capabilities, including a turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine producing 340 PS (250 kW; 335 hp) and 450 N⋅m (332 lb⋅ft) of torque.

Audi RS3 wheel fitment
Everything below is what the fit-check uses for Audi RS3 wheel fitment: the factory bolt spec first, then the width and offset window that clears the arches and the brakes on the Audi RS3 8V Facelift Sportback.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x112 |
| Centre bore | 57.1 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 120 Nm |
| Seat type | radius |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | indirect |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 8J–8.5J | ET28–ET38 |
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.
