Overview
The Audi RS6 is a high-performance variant of the Audi A6 range produced by Audi Sport GmbH for Audi AG. It debuted in 2002 and has gone through several generations, each offering enhanced performance and technology. The C5 generation was available as both Avant (estate) and saloon models, while subsequent generations were exclusively offered as Avants.

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 9J–10J | ET24–ET38 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8 to 10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
