2013 Audi TT Wheel Interchange

2013 Audi TT Wheel Fitment Guide

Known OEM Fitment For 2013 Audi TT

The values below reflect known factory specifications for at least one 2013 Audi TT configuration. Other trims or option packages may differ. If a value on your vehicle varies, confirm it using the on-page calculator and your OEM sources such as the owner’s manual, service information, or door-jamb label.

Notes:

• Some trims and brake packages may require different wheel diameters or offsets. Visually confirm brake and fender clearance before driving.
• If your new wheel’s center bore is larger than 57.1 mm, use hub-centric rings sized to 57.1 mm at the inner step.
• Lug seat type is not provided here. Verify whether your wheel requires ball seat or cone seat hardware before installation.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

The calculator on wheelinterchange.com lets you compare a donor wheel and tire to your 2013 Audi TT, and also test custom sizes. Follow these steps:

• Open the calculator and set Installed on (your vehicle) to 2013 Audi TT.
• Enter your known OEM size from above, or pick it from the drop-down if listed.
• Under Wheels from (donor vehicle), select a candidate vehicle or enter its wheel specs if you know them.
• Use Custom wheel size to try different rim diameter, width, and offset. The visual shows inner and outer clearance changes compared to your baseline.
• Use Custom tire size to change section width and aspect ratio. When you change rim diameter, the tire diameter in the comparison updates, so you can keep overall diameter close to stock.
• Review the output for changes in:
  • Inner clearance to suspension and brake components
  • Outer poke relative to the fender
  • Overall tire diameter and speedometer impact
• Print or save the results, then physically test fit whenever possible.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

• Bolt pattern must match 5x112.
• Center bore must be 57.1 mm hubcentric. Larger bores are acceptable with proper hub-centric rings. Smaller bores will not fit.
• Thread size is M14x1.5. Confirm lug bolt seat type required by the wheel manufacturer before purchasing hardware.
• Wheel width and offset must clear the strut, knuckle, and fender. Use the calculator to compare inner clearance and outer poke against your OEM wheel.
• Backspacing is related to width and offset. If it increases too much, inner rubbing can occur.
• Brake clearance. Some 2013 TT trims and performance packages have larger calipers that may not clear small-diameter wheels. Verify spoke and barrel clearance.
• Tire overall diameter. Keep overall diameter close to stock to maintain ABS and speedometer accuracy. A general guideline is within about 3 percent.
• Load rating. Wheel and tire load ratings must meet or exceed OEM requirements.
• TPMS. Check your market and trim for TPMS requirements. If sensors are needed, ensure compatibility and plan for programming or relearn.
• Return policy. If you cannot test fit, choose a seller with a good return policy in case of clearance issues.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

Plus sizing increases wheel diameter while adjusting tire sidewall to keep overall tire diameter close to stock. Use the calculator to verify clearance and speedometer impact.

• Plus-one. Increase wheel diameter by 1 inch and reduce tire aspect ratio to keep overall diameter similar. Check inner and outer clearances and brake clearance.
• Plus-two or wider wheels. Wider wheels can improve grip, but offset becomes more critical. Compare inner clearance to the strut and outer poke to the fender lip.
• Center bore and hardware. Aftermarket wheels often have a larger center bore. Use 57.1 mm hub-centric rings and the correct lug seat type.
• Performance brakes. If your TT has larger brakes, confirm barrel and spoke clearance. The calculator helps, but a physical test fit is best.

Because exact alternative sizes vary by trim and suspension package, do not rely on generic size lists. Use the on-page calculator with your current wheel as the baseline, then confirm against OEM documentation and a physical test fit.

Installation Tips

• Work on a level surface. Use a proper jack and jack stands at the designated Audi lift points.
• Clean the hub face and wheel mounting pad. Remove rust and debris so the wheel seats flush. Lightly clean the hub bore and confirm a snug hubcentric fit.
• Dry threads. Do not lubricate lug bolt threads unless an OEM procedure specifies it. Lubricants can alter clamping force.
• Use a wheel hanger guide pin for easier mounting on vehicles with lug bolts.
• Tighten bolts in a star pattern by hand first, then torque to the value in your owner’s manual or service information. Re-torque after 50 to 100 miles.
• If using spacers, choose hub-centric spacers and ensure proper bolt length and thread engagement. As a general guideline, thread engagement should be at least the bolt diameter.
• Verify brake and suspension clearance on full steering lock and through suspension travel. Check inner liners and fender lips.
• Set tire pressures to the door-jamb label and perform any required TPMS relearn.

FAQs

• What wheels from other vehicles will fit my 2013 Audi TT?

  Start with 5x112 bolt pattern, 57.1 mm center bore or larger with rings, and M14x1.5 hardware. Width and offset must be verified using the calculator to ensure inner and outer clearance. Because trim and brake packages vary, always test fit before driving.

• Can I use wheels with a larger center bore?

  Yes. Use hub-centric rings that reduce the wheel’s center bore to 57.1 mm so the wheel is centered on the hub. Ensure the ring material and fit are precise.

• Do I need different lug bolts for aftermarket wheels?

  Possibly. The seat type and length required depend on the wheel and whether spacers are used. Verify with the wheel manufacturer and ensure M14x1.5 threads match the hub.

• What is the stock offset for my TT?

  The known OEM example listed here is ET45 on a 16x7.5 wheel. Your specific trim may differ. Check the back of your wheel, your owner’s manual, or OEM parts data, and use the calculator for comparisons.

• How close should overall tire diameter be to stock when upsizing?

  A common guideline is to keep overall diameter within about 3 percent of stock to maintain speedometer and ABS behavior. Use the calculator to see the difference before you buy.

• Will 16 inch wheels clear my brakes?

  That depends on your trim and brake package. Some larger calipers may require bigger wheel diameters. Measure and test fit to confirm spoke and barrel clearance.

• Can I run spacers on my TT?

  Yes, with care. Use quality hub-centric spacers that match the 57.1 mm hub. Ensure longer bolts with correct seat type and adequate thread engagement. Re-check torque after installation.

• What tire pressure should I use after changing wheels?

  Use the pressure on the driver door-jamb label unless your new tire load rating or size requires a different value. When in doubt, consult OEM documentation or a tire professional.

Always verify any new wheel and tire setup against OEM documentation and perform a careful test fit. When values are unknown or vary by trim, rely on the on-page calculator and confirm clearances on your specific 2013 Audi TT before driving.
