FAQ

What is the standard Audi R8 wheel lug pattern?
Most Audi R8 models use a 5 × 112 mm lug pattern, meaning 5 lug nuts on a 112 mm pitch circle diameter.
Why is the offset (ET) important for Audi R8 wheels?
Offset ensures the wheel sits correctly in the wheel well; incorrect ET can affect handling, suspension, and brake clearance.
Can I use wheels with a different center bore on the Audi R8?
No. Using wheels with an incorrect center bore size (Audi R8 uses 66.5 mm) can lead to vibration and poor wheel fitment without hub-centric rings.
