OEM wheel/tire sizes and fitment specs for the 2016 Audi A4.

Understanding Wheel Fitment for Your 2016 Audi A4

When it comes to upgrading or replacing the wheels on your 2016 Audi A4, a common misconception is that any wheel with the right bolt pattern will fit. This assumption can lead to confusion and potential issues if you’re not careful.

Why This Seems True

It makes sense to think that as long as the bolt pattern matches, the wheels should fit. After all, the bolt pattern is a crucial measurement. However, there are several other factors that influence wheel fitment, which can complicate things.

What is True

For your 2016 Audi A4, the known OEM specifications are quite specific:

Bolt pattern: 5x112
Center bore: 66.6 mm
Thread size: M14 x 1.5
Rim diameter: 17 inches
Rim width: 7.5 inches
Wheel offset: 45 mm
Backspacing: 5.52 inches
Tire section width: 245 mm
Tire aspect ratio: 45%
Tire rim diameter: 17 inches

These specifications are essential in ensuring that your new wheels not only fit physically but also perform well without affecting safety or handling.

Implications

Choosing wheels based solely on bolt pattern can lead to issues like improper fit, which may affect your vehicle’s alignment and handling. Additionally, improper offset or width can lead to rubbing against the suspension or bodywork, which can cause damage over time. So, it’s crucial to consider all fitment aspects.

Quick Tests

To confirm if a wheel will fit your Audi A4, you can use the built-in calculator found on wheelinterchange.com. Here’s how:

Compare “Wheels from (donor vehicle)” with “Installed on (your vehicle)”
Adjust “Custom wheel size” (rim diameter/width/offset) and “Custom tire size” (section width/aspect ratio)
Ensure that the changes keep all values within the acceptable range for your vehicle

By following these steps, you can confidently select the right wheels for your Audi A4 without the guesswork.
