The Audi RS4 B5 (1999–2001) uses a 5x112 bolt pattern, 57.1 mm centre bore, M14x1.5 bolts torqued to ~120 Nm. It accepts ~7.5J–9J wheels at ET10–ET29. That is the short version of Audi RS4 wheel fitment; the full picture is below.

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.

History & notable variants

The original B5 RS 4 was introduced late in 1999 for production and sale from 2000 onwards. It featured significant aerodynamic modifications, including unique front and rear bumpers and side sills, achieving a drag coefficient of C<sub>d</sub>&nbsp;0.34. The engine was a 2.7-liter V6 biturbo developed by Cosworth Technology in the UK, producing 280 kW (375 bhp) at 7,000 rpm and 440 N⋅m (325 lb-ft) of torque at 6,000 rpm.
