Audi RS4 wheel fitment — B5
Overview
The Audi RS 4 B5 is a high-performance variant of the Audi A4 range, produced by Audi Sport GmbH for AUDI AG from 1999 to 2001. It sits above the S4 as the fastest and most sports-focused car based on the Volkswagen Group B platform. The RS 4 was available only as an Avant (station wagon) model during this generation, built exclusively in Germany at Audi's Neckarsulm plant. This version succeeded the Porsche/Quattro GmbH-developed Audi RS2 Avant.
Audi RS4 wheel fitment
Audi RS4 wheel fitment for the Audi RS4 B5 (1999–2001): the factory PCD, centre bore and bolt spec, then the aftermarket width and offset window we fit to.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x112 |
| Centre bore | 57.1 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 120 Nm |
| Seat type | radius |

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 7.5J–9J | ET10–ET29 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8–10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
