Fitting wheels on a Audi S3 8V

A Audi S3 8V (2013–2020) uses a 5x112 PCD and a centre bore of 57.1 mm. Any wheel must match the vehicle's PCD exactly: there is no tolerance, unless you use a PCD adapter.

  • PCD: 5x112 required. See all vehicles with 5x112.
  • Centre bore: the wheel must have a centre bore of 57.1 mm or more. If it is larger (as with most aftermarket wheels), add a hub centric ring wheel centre bore → 57.1 mm.
  • Offset: the original is ET46 to ET51. Compare your future wheel with the offset calculator (your vehicle is already selected) to see how many millimetres further in or out it will sit.
  • Fixings: thread M14x1.5, tightened to 120 Nm. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.
  • Tyres: original fitment is 225/40R18. For another size, check the diameter difference with the equivalence calculator (under 3 % recommended).

Generations of the Audi S3

Previous generation: Audi S3 (1999–2003) — the bolt pattern changes (5x112 instead of 5x100): the wheels are not interchangeable. Next generation: Audi S3 8Y (from 2020) — same 5x112 bolt pattern and same centre bore: original wheels swap between the two generations; check offset and diameter.

Vehicles with the same PCD and centre bore

Same 5x112 PCD and same 57.1 mm centre bore: wheels from these vehicles bolt on and centre on a Audi S3 8V without rings. Offset, width, diameter and caliper clearance still need checking.

Frequently asked questions

What is the PCD of a Audi S3 8V?

A Audi S3 8V (2013–2020) has a PCD of 5x112: 5 studs or bolts spaced around a circle 112 mm in diameter.

Does a Audi S3 8V need a hub centric ring?

The centre bore (hub diameter) of a Audi S3 8V is 57.1 mm. A wheel with a larger centre bore is fitted with a hub centric ring that brings it down to the hub diameter. A wheel with a smaller centre bore cannot be fitted.

What offset (ET) for a Audi S3 8V?

The recorded original offset is ET46 to ET51 depending on the version and wheel size. A lower ET pushes the wheel outwards, a higher ET pulls it inwards: check wheel well and caliper clearance before making any change.

What tightening torque for the wheels of a Audi S3 8V?

The specified tightening torque is 120 Nm for M14x1.5 fixings. Tighten in a criss-cross pattern with a torque wrench and check the tightness again after about fifty kilometres.

Which vehicles have the same PCD as a Audi S3 8V?

With the same PCD (5x112) and the same centre bore (57.1 mm), these include: Audi Q4 E-TRON, Audi RS3 8Y, Audi A3 8Y, Audi S3 8Y. Offset, width and rim diameter still need checking for each vehicle.
