OEM wheel and tire fitment specs for the 2018 Audi RS 7, including bolt pattern (PCD), center bore diameter, thread size, rim diameter, rim width, wheel offset, and backspacing.
2018 Audi RS 7 Fitment Specs
Baseline mounting dimensions used for interchange decisions.
Multiple OEM configurations exist for this vehicle. Fitment can vary by trim, brakes, and factory wheel package – confirm your exact setup before buying.
Wheels That Interchange With a 2018 Audi RS 7
Results are evaluated from bolt pattern, center bore direction, OEM width/offset envelope, and lug hardware – not bolt pattern alone.
Donor width/offset sits outside the known OEM envelope for this vehicle. Precomputed data suggested a spacer; geometry was re-checked against OEM envelope.
Donor width/offset sits outside the known OEM envelope for this vehicle. Precomputed data suggested a spacer; geometry was re-checked against OEM envelope.
A normal wheel spacer does not change bolt pattern. Hub rings cannot enlarge a wheel bore that is smaller than the hub. Brake clearance and tire package fitment still require vehicle-specific checks when not confirmed in the dataset.
tl;dr
The 2018 Audi RS 7 uses 5x112, 66.5 mm center bore, and M14x1.5 lug bolts. The stock wheel is 20x9 ET35 with 275/35R20 tires. Use the on-page calculator to compare any donor wheel and tire to this baseline. Keep the setup hub-centric, clear the big brakes, and confirm load rating. When unsure, test fit before mounting tires.
Recommendation
As a technician, I treat the OEM set as the control. Build from there in small, measured steps.

Use the calculator methodically
In Wheels from (donor), enter the wheel and tire you want to try.
In Installed on (your vehicle), select 2018 Audi RS 7 and keep the OEM set.
Adjust Custom wheel size: diameter, width, and offset.
Adjust Custom tire size: section width and aspect ratio. Changing rim diameter updates tire diameter in the comparison.
Brake clearance first. The RS 7 has large front calipers. Ensure spoke-to-caliper and barrel clearance on a bare-wheel test fit.
Hub-centric fit. The wheel center bore must be 66.5 mm. If larger, use quality 66.5 mm hub-centric rings.
Load rating. Wheel and tire load index must meet or exceed OEM.
Hardware. Match seat type to the wheel and keep proper thread engagement. Use M14x1.5 bolts of correct length for the wheel design.
Diameter. Aim to keep overall tire diameter near stock unless you accept speedometer changes.
Impact
Here is how your inputs affect the car. Use these to interpret the calculator outputs.
Offset change: More positive ET moves the wheel inward. Inner clearance decreases first. More negative ET moves outward, increasing poke and fender risk.
Width change: Half the width increase goes inward, half outward. Combine width and offset to judge real clearance.
Backspacing: Higher backspacing moves the barrel closer to suspension and brake lines.
Overall tire diameter: Larger diameter raises the car, softens gearing, and reads slower on the speedometer. A 1% increase makes the speedo read about 1% low.
Sidewall height: More sidewall rides softer, can feel less direct. Less sidewall sharpens response but reduces curb and pothole protection.
Unsprung mass: Heavier wheels slow damping and can lengthen stopping distance.
Risks
Caliper interference. The RS 7’s big brakes can hit spokes on some designs. Always test a bare wheel on the hub and spin it to check barrel contact.
Fender contact. Outer poke increases with lower ET or wider wheels. Check at full lock and full bump with the calculator’s poke change as your guide.
Hub vibration. Non-hub-centric fits can cause vibration. Use 66.5 mm rings when the wheel bore is larger.
Lug seat mismatch. Audi OEM bolts often use a specific seat profile. If the wheel uses a different seat, change the bolts to match. Do not mix seat types.
Hardware length. Too-short bolts reduce thread engagement. Too-long bolts can bottom out. Verify by hand before torqueing.
TPMS and alignment. After any change, reset TPMS if needed and check alignment if the handling feels off.
Next actions
Checklist
Confirm the OEM specs above against your door placard and manual.
Open the calculator on wheelinterchange.com and set your baseline.
Enter the donor wheel and tire. Tune width and ET until inner clearance and poke look safe.
Keep overall diameter change small. Review speedometer impact in the results.
Verify center bore is 66.5 mm or plan for hub-centric rings.
Source bolts that match seat type and M14x1.5 thread. Hand test for engagement.
Do a bare-wheel fit on the car. Spin for caliper and barrel clearance.
Mount tires, torque to the factory spec from the owner’s manual, and re-torque after 50–100 miles.
If any spec varies by trim or package, verify with the calculator and your Audi documentation. When in doubt, test fit first. That saves tires and time.
