Audi S8 wheel fitment for the Audi S8 D4 Facelift (2014–2018): the factory PCD, centre bore and bolt spec, then the aftermarket width and offset window we fit to.

| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 120 Nm |

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 9J–10J | ET22–ET42 |
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.
