Audi S8 wheel fitment — D4 Facelift
Audi S8 wheel fitment
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 pattern (PCD) | 5x112 |
| Centre bore | 66.6 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 120 Nm |
| Seat type | radius |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | indirect |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 9J–10J | ET22–ET42 |
Go wider and the offset has to rise with it, about 8 to 10 ET per extra 1J, or the wheel pokes past the arch. The fit-check settles the exact offset and any spacer.
UK popularity & demand
Based on DfT VEH0124 vehicle-parc data (2025), there are approximately 949 Audi S8 on UK roads, placing it in the top 31% of car models by volume across our fitment database.
A parc that size is why Audi S8 wheel fitment is worth getting exactly right: a lot of owners are shopping for these numbers.
