Audi RS4 B7 — Wheel Fitment & Specs
Overview
The Audi RS 4 B7 is a high-performance variant of the Audi A4, produced by Audi Sport GmbH for AUDI AG from 2006 to 2008. It sits above the S4 as the fastest and most sports-focused car based on the Volkswagen Group's B7 platform. Unlike previous generations which were exclusively offered in Avant (station wagon) form, the B7 RS 4 was initially available as a four-door sedan with an Avant variant following shortly after. A Cabriolet version was also introduced later. The B7 RS 4 features significant styling and performance enhancements over its predecessor, including wider wheel arches for improved aerodynamics and handling.

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 7.5J–9J | ET16–ET34 |
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.
UK popularity & demand
Based on DfT VEH0124 vehicle-parc data (2025), there are approximately 5,870 Audi RS4 on UK roads, placing it in the top 17% of car models by volume across our fitment database. That makes its wheel fitment a high-demand size to keep in stock — one reason we track its exact spec here.
