Audi SQ8 4M Facelift — Wheel Fitment & Specs
Overview
The Audi Q8 is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV made by Audi that was launched in 2018. It is the flagship of the Audi SUV line, and is being produced at the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant in Slovakia. The Q8 shares its MLB Evo platform with other high-end vehicles such as the Lamborghini Urus and Bentley Bentayga. Compared to its predecessor, it features a more aggressive design language under Marc Lichte's leadership, including a larger octagonal grille and full-laser headlamps. It offers advanced technology like three touch screens, an enlarged virtual cockpit, and haptic feedback for user inputs.

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 8.5J–10.5J | ET0–ET25 |
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 1,362 Audi SQ8 on UK roads, placing it in the top 28% 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.
