Donor vehicles with overlapping OEM specs
These are vehicle-year records whose recorded OEM ranges overlap this 2009 Audi S8. Overlap is not a guarantee that a specific wheel will install. Selected-wheel comparison is in the calculator below.
Evaluated 143 donor years. Listed 24 eligible overlaps (not all evaluated years are compatible). Showing all listed.
Wheel geometryOEM width/offset ranges overlap (not a specific wheel)
Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change -2.85 mm, inner change -9.85 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.
Hub-centric rings of about 66.5 → 57.1 mm mm may be relevant if the wheel bore is larger than the hub; clearance is not verified. Donor width/offset sits outside the known OEM envelope for this vehicle.
Hub-centric rings of about 66.5 → 57.1 mm mm may be relevant if the wheel bore is larger than the hub; they cannot enlarge a smaller bore. Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change -1.85 mm, inner change -10.85 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.

tl;dr
OEM baseline for 2009 Audi S8: 20x9 ET45 with 265/35R20.
Bolt pattern 5x112. Center bore 57.1 mm. Thread M14 x 1.5.
Backspacing is 6.27 in. Use hub centering on 57.1 mm.
Use the on-page calculator to compare changes before you buy.
Confirm torque value and lug seat type in OEM sources.
Recommendation
Start from the factory spec and make small, measured changes. Use the wheelinterchange.com calculator to compare any donor wheel or custom size against your S8. Keep overall tire diameter close to the OEM tire to protect speedometer accuracy and driver aids. Maintain hub centering on 57.1 mm. Verify brake and fender clearance before mounting tires. If anything is unknown, confirm it with the calculator and your OEM documentation.
Impact
Offset and track width
Offset changes move the wheel in or out. More positive ET tucks the wheel inboard. Less positive ET pushes it outward. Inboard moves risk suspension and liner contact under compression. Outboard moves risk fender or arch contact on bumps and turns. The calculator shows these shifts in millimeters so you can visualize the change.
Width and clearance
Wider rims add tire section width and bulge depending on tire choice. Inner clearance to struts and control arms is the usual limit. Outer clearance to the fender lip is the next constraint. The calculator compares inner and outer positions versus OEM, which helps you gauge safe room.
Tire diameter and ride
Tire outside diameter affects speedometer, gearing feel, and ABS stability tuning. The calculator updates tire diameter when you change rim diameter, so you can keep total diameter close to stock. That preserves handling balance and avoids false ABS or stability events.
Hub, bolts, and vibration
Your hub bore is 57.1 mm. Aftermarket wheels with larger bores need 57.1 rings to stay hubcentric. Smaller bores do not fit. Thread size is M14 x 1.5. Lug seat type can vary by wheel, so match the seat to the wheel design. Mismatched seats can loosen and cause vibration.
Risks
Brake caliper spoke contact from low offset or wrong spoke profile.
Inner liner or knuckle rub under load with wider setups.
Outer fender contact on compression or full lock turns.
Vibration from running lugcentric without proper 57.1 rings.
Lug seat mismatch causing bolt loosening or damaged seats.
Incorrect bolt length bottoming in hubs or not engaging enough threads.
Speedometer error and stability control quirks from big tire diameter changes.
TPMS compatibility can vary by market and equipment. Confirm on your car.

Checklist
Confirm the baseline below matches your trim and build.
Open the on-page calculator. Set Installed on to 2009 Audi S8.
Compare a donor wheel or enter Custom wheel size and Custom tire size.
Review inner clearance, outer poke, and tire diameter differences.
Check brake spoke clearance using a straight edge and ruler after a test fit.
Verify hub bore 57.1 mm. Plan hubcentric rings if the wheel bore is larger.
Match lug seat type to the wheel. Confirm M14 x 1.5 thread.
Torque to OEM spec in a star pattern. Recheck after 50–100 miles.
How to confirm unknowns
Torque spec and lug seat type: owner’s manual or OEM service info.
Brake clearance: use the calculator, then test fit with no tire, rotate, and inspect.
Fender clearance: load the suspension and steer to full lock both directions.
TPMS type: check your cluster, valve stems, or parts catalog for your VIN.

Gotchas
Do not force smaller hub bores onto a 57.1 hub. They will not fit.
Do not rely on lug bolts to center the wheel. Use proper rings if needed.
Do not guess bolt length or seat type. Verify against your wheel design.
Spacers and extended hardware require precise measurements and quality parts. Measure first.
If any value differs by trim or region, use the calculator and OEM sources to confirm before purchase. Small, verified changes reduce risk and keep the S8 driving as intended.
Methodology and sources
Wheel interchange depends on more than bolt pattern. Where data is available, this site compares recorded OEM values:
Bolt pattern / PCD
Center bore direction (donor wheel bore must not be smaller than the hub)
Wheel diameter, width, and offset against known OEM ranges
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.
