    New RS5 20" Wheel Spec?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Does anyone know the size and offset of the 2018 RS5 20-inch wheels?

    I am not a fan, so I wanted to inquire if anyone knew. The fenders are wider in the RS5
    than the S5, which leaves even the 20" RS wheels sitting deep into the fenderwells, which I think
    falls short. I would instead like to see the wheels sit out further to meet the fender lip.

    The '18 RS5 has two 20-inch wheels available according to the Audi build configurator: a 5-arm-trapezoid design and a 5-arm-peak design. If you're talking about the 5-arm trapezoid wheel design, the 20x9-inch wheel has an ET26. I say this based on wheel specs I picked up from my Audi parts guy recently. I would expect a similar offset for the 5-arm-peak design if only for the difference in quarter-panel width as you point out.

    Anyone know compatibility between the A5, S5, and RS5 wheels? I have a B9 A5 Sportback and would love to put one of the sportier OEM sets on it.

    Offset newbie: If the 20” OEMs are ET26 and I want new wheels that sit 10MMs further out (no poke), does that mean the new ET should be ET36?????? Please advise.

    Should be ET16. Adding spacers is equivalent to making the pad closer to center line of the wheel, so subtract the positive offset number.

    And coupe offset is ET26 while sportback offset is ET22 for the RS5.

    Sorry to revive an old thread.

    I have the 5-arm-trapezoid design on my '19 RS5 coupe, but I have always liked the 5-arm-peak design OEM wheels.

    I have a chance to purchase a nice used set of "peak" design wheels from a RS5 sportback.

    Will the ET22 wheels fit my coupe?

    They should be 4 mm farther out, correct?

    That’s correct. They should fit fine. 4mm is about 1/8”.
