2010 Audi R8 Wheel Interchange
2010 Audi R8 Wheel Fitment Guide
This page compiles the wheel and tire data provided for the 2010 Audi R8 so you can evaluate safe wheel swaps and tire changes with the on-page calculator at wheelinterchange.com. Some R8 models use staggered setups and multiple factory wheel packages. If a value is missing or appears to conflict, confirm your exact configuration using the calculator and OEM sources before buying parts.
Known OEM fitment for 2010 Audi R8
| Parameter | Value provided |
|---|---|
| Bolt pattern | 5x112 |
| Center bore | 57.1 mm |
| Thread size | M14 x 1.5 |
| Rim diameter | 19 in |
| Rim width | 8.5 in |
| Wheel offset (ET) | 42 mm |
| Backspacing | 5.9 in |
| Tire section width | 235 mm |
| Tire aspect ratio | 40 |
| Tire rim diameter | 18 in |
Note: The wheel diameter shown is 19 in while the tire size provided corresponds to 18 in. The 2010 R8 was available with different factory wheel packages and may be staggered by axle. Treat the values above as partial data. Confirm what your specific car has using the steps below and by checking the tire placard and service information.
How to confirm your exact factory setup
- Check the driver door jamb tire placard and the owner’s manual for OEM wheel and tire sizes for your VIN.
- Read the tire sidewall on your car. Example format: 235/40R18.
- Inspect the back of your wheel for an offset stamp. It often reads ET followed by a number like ET42.
- Measure center bore with a digital caliper. ID should be 57.1 mm on the hub. Use hub-centric rings only if your new wheel’s bore is larger.
- Count 5 studs/bolt holes and verify 112 mm pitch circle diameter. A simple template or caliper can confirm 5x112.
- If your car is staggered, record front and rear sizes separately since width, offset, and tire sizes can differ by axle.
Using the Wheel Interchange Calculator
The calculator lets you compare donor wheels and tires to your 2010 Audi R8 and try custom sizes safely.
- Set Wheels from (donor vehicle) to the candidate wheel. Set Installed on (your vehicle) to your 2010 Audi R8.
- Enter Custom wheel size for rim diameter, width, and offset. Enter Custom tire size for section width and aspect ratio. When you change rim diameter, the calculator updates tire diameter in the comparison so you can manage speedometer change.
- Review inner clearance to the strut and brakes, and outer poke relative to the fender. Ensure there is no contact through full steering and suspension travel.
- Aim to keep overall tire diameter close to stock. Many installers target within about 2 percent to limit speedometer error and ABS calibration impact.
Fitment guidance when changing wheels
- Offset and width work together. More width with the same offset pushes inward and outward equally. Lower offset moves the wheel outward. Use the calculator to visualize both inner clearance and outer poke.
- Backspacing figures can vary based on how rim width is measured at the bead seat versus overall. If backspacing is critical for your brake setup, measure physically.
- The R8 uses large brakes. Confirm spoke and barrel clearance using manufacturer brake templates or a physical test fit.
- Use hub-centric wheels or quality hub-centric rings sized to 57.1 mm inner diameter if the wheel bore is larger. Do not use rings to reduce to a smaller hub than 57.1 mm.
- Hardware must match seat type, thread, and required engagement. The thread is M14 x 1.5. Seat type and bolt length can vary by wheel. Verify with the wheel supplier. If spacers are used, you will likely need longer bolts designed for spacers.
- Always verify torque specification in the factory service manual. Do not guess. Retorque after 50 to 100 miles of driving.
- If your R8 uses direct TPMS sensors, move or program sensors accordingly. Some trims may use indirect systems. Confirm your system type in the owner’s manual.
Safe install checklist
- Test fit one corner and spin the wheel by hand to check caliper and knuckle clearance.
- Cycle steering lock-to-lock and compress the suspension to check fender and liner clearance.
- Verify that the center bore seats fully on the hub. No gap between wheel and hub face.
- Confirm thread engagement on wheel bolts is adequate. Do not exceed hub lip length with rings or spacers that prevent seating.
- Recheck torque on clean, dry threads. Do not lubricate unless specified by OEM.

Frequently asked questions
Can I run 19 inch wheels on my 2010 Audi R8? The data above shows a 19 inch wheel size and a separate 18 inch tire size. The R8 was available with multiple factory packages and may be staggered. Use the calculator to compare your current setup to a 19 inch option and confirm with your tire placard or OEM service info before purchasing.
Do I need hub-centric rings? Only if your new wheel’s center bore is larger than 57.1 mm. Choose rings with a 57.1
