Why Alloy Wheel Choice Matters on an Audi
Your Audi is a precision-engineered car. Getting the wheels right isn't just about looks — the wrong offset or bolt pattern can cause handling issues, tyre wear and even clearance problems with your brakes. Get it right and you'll transform the look of your car while keeping everything exactly as the engineers intended.
At OMI Wheels, we supply alloy wheels across the full Audi range — from the A3 to the RS6 — shipping from Northern Ireland with no EU import duty and UK delivery in 1–2 working days. Browse our full Audi style alloy wheels range.
What Bolt Pattern Does My Audi Need?
Almost every modern Audi uses a 5x112 bolt pattern. The exception is older models like the Audi A3 8P built before 2012 and early TT models, which used 5x100.
- Audi A3 8P (to 2012): 5x100
- Audi A3 8V/8Y (2012 onwards), S3, RS3: 5x112
- Audi A4, A5, A6, A7, A8 (B8/B9): 5x112
- Audi Q3, Q5, TT (MQB): 5x112
- Audi Q7, Q8: 5x130
Offset — Getting the ET Right
Offset (ET) is how far the wheel's mounting face sits from its centreline. For most Audis the stock offset is ET42–ET45 on 18-inch wheels and ET35–ET40 on wider fitments.
- 18x8 to 8.5J: ET42–ET45
- 19x8 to 8.5J: ET40–ET45
- 20x8.5 to 9J: ET38–ET42
- Performance wide fitments 9J+: ET30–ET38
Centre Bore
All Audi 5x112 models use a 57.1mm centre bore. Our OEM style Audi wheels are produced to exactly 57.1mm — no spigot rings needed.
Best Alloy Wheels by Audi Model
Audi A3 (8V/8Y) and S3
The A3 looks exceptional on 18s and 19s. Our 18x8 Audi TTRS Concave Style in Black Machined is one of our most popular A3 upgrades — aggressive without being loud, and fits perfectly on the standard suspension. The 19x8.5 Black Machined version suits the S3 and RS3 perfectly.
Audi A4 and A5 (B8/B9)
The B8 and B9 platforms suit 18s and 19s on standard cars. Our 19x8.5 Audi TTRS Concave Style in silver or gunmetal is a factory-clean look that works across the entire A4/A5 range. ET40 works well throughout.
Audi Q5 and Q3
SUVs can carry 20s and 21s cleanly. For Q5, 20x8.5 at ET38 fills the arch perfectly and gives the car a more planted road presence.
Audi RS6 Avant and RS3
The RS6 is one of the most modified cars in the UK. Factory fitment is 21 or 22 inch. Our Audi RS6 Performance style wheels replicate the factory look in flow-formed aluminium at a fraction of dealer pricing.
