2010 Audi S5 Wheel Interchange

2010 Audi S5 Wheel Fitment and Interchange Guide

Known OEM Fitment For 2010 Audi S5

The following specifications are provided for this model year. They may be partial and can vary by trim or market package. Always verify on your car’s tire-pressure placard and in official Audi service information before purchasing wheels or tires.

Note: The provided data includes a 20 inch wheel size along with a 245/40R18 tire size, which indicates an 18 inch rim. This suggests mixed or partial data across trims or packages. Treat these as reference points, not a complete list. Confirm your exact factory size on the driver door placard, owner’s manual, or by decoding your VIN with an Audi parts catalog.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

The calculator on wheelinterchange.com lets you safely compare donor wheels and custom sizes to your 2010 Audi S5.

• Set Installed on (your vehicle) to 2010 Audi S5. Enter your current wheel and tire size from your door placard.
• For Wheels from (donor vehicle), enter the wheel specs you want to test or the donor vehicle’s wheel specs.
• Use Custom wheel size to try different rim diameter, width, and offset. The tool will update inner clearance and poke compared to your baseline.
• Use Custom tire size to adjust section width and aspect ratio. When you change rim diameter, the tire diameter in the comparison updates so you can maintain an overall diameter close to stock.
• Review key outputs:
  • Inner clearance vs strut and brake caliper
  • Outer position vs fender edge
  • Overall tire diameter change and its effect on speedometer
• Aim to keep overall tire diameter change within about plus or minus 3 percent, then verify real-world clearances by test fitting.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

• Bolt pattern: Must be 5x112.
• Center bore: The car’s hub is 66.6 mm. Aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore and require 66.6 mm hub-centric rings. Do not use a smaller bore than 66.6 mm.
• Fasteners: Thread size is M14 x 1.5. Audi commonly uses wheel bolts rather than nuts. Confirm seat type (ball vs cone) and length requirements for the specific wheel. Do not reuse mismatched hardware.
• Offset and width: Use the calculator to ensure:
  • Inner clearance remains safe for strut, spring perch, and brake caliper. Leave a few millimeters of clearance at minimum.
  • Outer position does not contact the fender or liner on compression or steering lock. Leave visible daylight clearance.
• Brake clearance: Spoke design and barrel shape matter. Visually test fit to confirm caliper clearance, not just diameter and offset.
• Tire diameter: Keep the overall tire diameter close to factory to protect ABS, AWD behavior, and speedometer accuracy.
• Load index and speed rating: Meet or exceed the factory ratings on your tire placard.
• TPMS: If your S5 is equipped, confirm sensor compatibility or plan to swap sensors to the new wheels.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

Plus sizing can improve response if done carefully. Because the provided data is partial and mixed across 18 and 20 inch references, use these notes as general guidance and verify with the calculator and OEM sources.

• Maintain overall tire diameter close to stock. Target within about plus or minus 3 percent.
• As you increase rim width, offset often needs to change to keep inner and outer clearances balanced. The calculator will show inner clearance and poke changes as you vary ET.
• Example trials to plug into the calculator for evaluation only:
  • 19 inch options typically use lower-profile tires, such as a 35 series, to keep overall diameter near stock.
  • 20 inch options typically use a 30 series tire to maintain diameter.
  These are examples to help you use the tool, not guaranteed fitments. Always verify caliper and fender clearance on your specific S5.
• If using spacers for spoke or caliper clearance, choose hub-centric spacers and matching extended M14 x 1.5 hardware with the correct seat type. Verify thread engagement at least equal to OEM.

Installation Tips

• Work on a cool car parked on level ground. Use jack stands at the proper jacking points and chock wheels.
• Clean the hub face and the wheel mounting pad. Remove rust and debris so the wheel seats flush. A thin film of anti-seize can be applied to the hub face only to reduce future sticking. Do not lubricate wheel bolt threads unless specified by Audi service information.
• If your wheels require hub-centric rings, install snugly on the hub or in the wheel per the ring design.
• Hand start all M14 x 1.5 fasteners to avoid cross-threading. Tighten in a star pattern.
• Torque to the factory specification from your owner’s manual or Audi service documentation using a calibrated torque wrench.
• After 50 to 100 miles of driving on new wheels, recheck torque on all fasteners.
• Perform a full lock-to-lock steering check and a short test drive over bumps to confirm no rubbing.

Tools And Helpful Supplies

• 1/2 inch drive torque wrench
• 3 ton jack stands
• M14 x 1.5 wheel hanger alignment pin for easier wheel installation
• Copper anti-seize for the hub face to reduce wheel-to-hub corrosion

FAQs

• What is the 2010 Audi S5 bolt pattern?

  5x112. That is five studs on a 112 mm circle. It is also referred to as 5x4.41 in.

• What is the center bore for this car?

  66.6 mm. Wheels with a larger bore can be used with 66.6 mm hub-centric rings. Do not use a wheel with a smaller bore.

• Which wheel offset should I choose?

  The provided data includes an offset of ET29 with a listed backspacing of 5.64 in, but fitment varies by wheel width and brake package. Use the calculator to compare any new width and ET against your current setup, then test fit. Do not assume a single offset works for all sizes.

• Can I run 19 or 20 inch wheels on a 2010 S5?

  Potentially, if overall tire diameter stays close to stock and you maintain safe inner and outer clearances. Use the calculator to model options and verify in person. The data provided on this page is partial, so confirm against your door placard and Audi sources.

• Does the S5 use wheel bolts or lug nuts?

  The thread spec is M14 x 1.5. Audi typically uses wheel bolts, but confirm on your car. Match the correct seat type and length to the wheel design.

• Will 5x112 wheels from another brand fit?

  Not automatically. You must also match center bore or use rings, ensure proper offset and width for brake and fender clearance, and use the correct fastener seat and length. Always compare with the calculator and test fit.

• What about spacers?

  Use hub-centric spacers that maintain a 66.6 mm hub lip and extended M14 x 1.5 hardware with the correct seat. Keep thread engagement at least equal to OEM. Re-torque and recheck after initial miles.

Safety note: This page lists partial OEM information for the 2010 Audi S5. If any value on your vehicle differs from what is shown, use your door placard and official Audi sources as the final authority, and validate every change with the on-page calculator and a physical test fit.
