Audi RS5 8T/8F — Wheel Fitment & Specs
Overview
The Audi A5 is a series of compact executive and grand touring coupé cars produced by Audi since June 2007, derived from the Audi A4 saloon and estate models. The first generation (Type 8T) belongs to the B8 family and was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2007. It includes coupe, cabriolet, and Sportback variants, with the latter being a five-door liftback with a fastback roofline. This generation marked Audi's return to the compact executive coupé market after a long absence.

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 8J–9.5J | ET10–ET31 |
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 2,560 Audi RS5 on UK roads, placing it in the top 23% 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.
