2022 Audi S4 Wheel Interchange
2022 Audi S4 Wheel Fitment Guide
Known OEM Fitment For 2022 Audi S4
The following measurements are confirmed for at least one factory configuration of the 2022 Audi S4. Other trims or packages may vary. If your car differs, use the on-page calculator to compare and confirm against your VIN, the tire placard on the driver door jamb, and Audi OEM documentation.
| Bolt pattern | 5x112 | 5 studs on a 112 mm circle |
| Center bore | 66.5 mm | Hub pilot diameter on the vehicle |
| Thread size | M14 x 1.5 | Verify seat type and length for your wheels |
| OEM rim diameter | 18 in | |
| OEM rim width | 8.0 in | |
| OEM wheel offset (ET) | 40 mm | |
| OEM backspacing | 5.57 in | |
| OEM tire size | 245/40R18 |
Important notes:
- Some trims and option packages can ship with different wheel and tire sizes. If yours differs, match your door-jamb placard and use the calculator to validate any change.
- Center bore on the car is 66.5 mm. Aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore and require hub-centric rings to adapt to 66.5 mm.
- Audi OEM wheels commonly use ball-seat lug bolts, but seat type and bolt length can vary. Always match the wheel manufacturer’s requirement and verify safe thread engagement.
How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator
The calculator compares two setups side by side so you can predict clearance, stance, and tire diameter changes before you buy.
- Wheels from (donor vehicle) - Choose the vehicle or enter the wheel and tire specs you are considering.
- Installed on (your vehicle) - Choose 2022 Audi S4 so the tool uses your hub, suspension, and fender reference points.
- Custom wheel size - Adjust rim diameter, width, and offset if you are considering an aftermarket wheel.
- Custom tire size - Adjust section width and aspect ratio. When you change rim diameter, the tool updates overall tire diameter in the comparison so you can see speedometer impact.
What to look for in the results:
- Inner clearance - Compare the new inner barrel and tire shoulder to suspension and brake clearance.
- Outer poke - Check how far the wheel and tire will move toward the fender edge.
- Tire diameter difference - Keep overall diameter close to stock to protect ABS, speedometer, and gearing.
- Speed error and ride height change - Smaller changes are usually better for drivability.
If any values are unknown or vary by trim, read your tire placard, scan your VIN with a dealer, or measure your current wheel to populate the calculator accurately.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy
- Bolt pattern - Must be 5x112 to mount on the 2022 S4 hubs.
- Center bore - Wheel bore must be 66.5 mm or larger. If larger, use hub-centric rings to adapt to 66.5 mm.
- Offset and width - Use the calculator to confirm inner clearance to struts and brakes, and outer clearance to fenders.
- Brake caliper clearance - The S4 has performance brakes. Verify spoke and barrel clearance with a template or test fit.
- Fasteners - Match seat type and length to the wheel. Verify M14 x 1.5 thread and at least 7 full turns of engagement unless your wheel maker specifies otherwise.
- Tire load and speed rating - Equal to or higher than OEM. Never downgrade ratings.
- TPMS - Check your owner’s manual for direct vs indirect TPMS. If direct sensors are required, confirm compatibility and programming steps.
- Spacers - If used, they must be quality hub-centric parts and require longer, correct-seat bolts. Re-run the calculator with spacer thickness included.
Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades
Plus sizing changes wheel diameter and width to alter appearance or performance. The key is to keep overall tire diameter close to stock and maintain safe clearances.
- Plus one or two diameter changes - For example, moving from 18 in to a larger diameter. Enter your proposed rim width and offset in the calculator and adjust the tire aspect ratio so overall diameter remains close to OEM.
- Wider wheels - Input the new width and offset to see inner and outer movement. Check brake barrel clearance and fender poke to avoid rubbing.
- Winter setups - Many owners prefer narrower tires for snow. Use the calculator to validate diameter and clearance, then verify load rating and speed index.
Because trims may vary, do not assume another S4 or Audi wheel size will fit your car. Always confirm with the calculator and OEM documentation for your exact VIN.
Installation Tips
- Test fit first - Mount one wheel without the tire if possible to check spoke and barrel clearance over the front brakes. Spin by hand and turn the steering from lock to lock.
- Clean the hub - Remove rust and debris from the 66.5 mm hub pilot and the wheel mounting face so the wheel seats flat.
- Hub-centric rings - If your wheel bore is larger than 66.5 mm, install quality rings and ensure they seat fully on the hub and in the wheel.
- Fasteners - Confirm M14 x 1.5 thread, correct seat type, and proper length. Hand start all bolts. Tighten in a star pattern in multiple passes.
- Torque - Use the torque spec in your Audi owner’s manual. Re-torque after 50 to 100 miles.
- Spacers - If used, make sure the spacer is hub-centric to both the hub and the wheel, and that longer bolts provide safe thread engagement.
- TPMS - If your vehicle uses direct sensors, install compatible sensors and perform the relearn procedure per the service manual.

FAQs
-
Will wheels from another Audi fit my 2022 S4?
They might, but only if the bolt pattern, center bore, offset, brake clearance, and fastener seat type all match. Use the calculator to compare the donor wheel and tire to your S4, and confirm with OEM data for your VIN.
-
Do I need hub-centric rings with aftermarket wheels?
If the wheel’s center bore is larger than 66.5 mm, yes. Use rings that adapt the wheel bore to 66.5 mm so the wheel centers on the hub and runs smoothly.
-
Can I reuse my OEM lug bolts on new wheels?
Only if the seat type and required length match the new wheel’s specification. Many aftermarket wheels use a different seat profile or require different bolt lengths. Verify with the wheel manufacturer.
-
What tire sizes can I run without affecting the speedometer?
Keep overall tire diameter close to the OEM 245/40R18 setup. Use the calculator to check diameter difference and speed error. When in doubt, choose the size with the smallest difference and confirm load and speed ratings meet or exceed OEM.
-
What offset is safe on the S4?
There is no single safe number for all wheels. Offset depends on wheel width, brake clearance, and fender room. Enter your exact wheel width and proposed offset in the calculator, then verify clearance on the car.
-
Are spacers safe to use?
Quality hub-centric spacers can be safe when installed correctly with longer, correct-seat bolts and verified clearances. Include spacer thickness in the calculator and ensure the wheel remains hub-centric.
-
Does the 2022 S4 need TPMS sensors?
Audi systems vary by market and trim. Check your owner’s manual to confirm whether your car uses indirect TPMS or direct sensors. If direct, you will need compatible sensors and a relearn procedure.
