Audi S4 Wheels and Rims

Audi S4 Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

The Audi S4 is the performance version of the A4, sold in modern form across the B6/B7 cars (2000-2008), the B8 (2009-2016), and the current B9 (2018 and up). The S4 sits on the same chassis as the standard A4 within each generation but ships from the factory with a more aggressive powertrain (supercharged 3.0T on the B8, turbocharged 3.0T on the B9), tighter offset windows, and larger factory front brakes from the B8 forward. The full-performance RS4 is tracked as its own hub because it ships with a different brake package and even tighter fitment than the S4. Every modern S4 runs a 5x112 bolt pattern with M14x1.5 lug bolts. Centerbore changes across the lineup: 57.1mm on the 2000-2008 cars, 66.56mm from 2009 forward.

Find Your Audi S4 Generation

Pick your chassis to see wheels and rims that fit your specific S4. Bolt pattern is 5x112 across every modern generation. Centerbore steps from 57.1mm (2000-2008 cars) to 66.56mm (2009 and up). The factory brake package also steps up from the B7 to the B8, which tightens the offset window from the B8 forward.

The Audi S4 Bolt Pattern

Every modern S4 uses 5x112 with M14x1.5 lug bolts. Audi runs bolts on its sedans, not studs and nuts the way most American and Asian platforms do. The lug bolt threads directly into the hub, the wheel sits between the head of the bolt and the hub face, and there is no lug stud to align the wheel before tightening. The bolt pattern has stayed 5x112 across the 2000-2008 cars, the B8 (2009-2016), and the current B9 (2018 and up). The wrinkle is the centerbore. The 2000-2008 S4 ran a 57.1mm hub bore. The B8 (2009-2016) and B9 (2018 and up) moved to a larger 66.56mm hub bore. The bolt pattern is the same, but a wheel bored to 66.56mm will not sit hub-centric on a 57.1mm older S4 without hub rings to bridge the gap, and a wheel bored to 57.1mm will not fit over the larger 66.56mm hub at all.

The 5x112 bolt pattern is shared with the rest of the modern Audi sedan family (A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8), the current Q5 and Q7, and the VW Group passenger-car siblings. It is NOT the same as the 5x130 pattern Audi used on the first generation Q7 SUV. The 5x112 / 66.56mm hub spec on the B8 and B9 S4 matches the wheel architecture on the same-generation A4 and A5, but the S4's brake package and offset window tighten the practical fitment compared to the base A4. Compare against the rest of the Audi lineup at our Audi wheels and rims hub.

Why the S4 Generation and Brake Package Determine Wheel Fit

The S4 ships with a larger factory front brake than the rest of the A4 lineup from the B8 forward. That is the normal configuration on a performance sedan, where the front brake handles the bulk of the braking force and gets the bigger caliper and rotor. The practical consequence for wheels is that the minimum aftermarket diameter on the B8 and B9 S4 sits at 19 inch (vs 17 inch on the base A4) and the offset window is tighter because the caliper face sits closer to the back of the wheel. Quattro AWD is standard on every modern S4. Drivetrain is not a fitment variable on the S4 because every car is AWD, but the square (non-staggered) factory fitment is consistent with the Quattro setup.

Suspension changes the practical fitment window on the B9. The base steel-spring B9 S4 runs the catalog offset and width window. The B9 S4 with the optional Air Suspension package runs slightly wider wheels (9.5 to 10 inch) with a slightly more aggressive offset. B9 owners running lowered springs sometimes pick a slightly more aggressive offset than the steel-spring stock car too. We catalog these as their own fitment rows because the suspension geometry under the wheel matters more here than it does on the lighter A4.

How We Confirm Fitment on Audi S4 Wheels

Element Wheels measures fitment on the platforms we sell wheels for, including every modern S4 generation. For the S4 that means clearance from the wheel to the fender, gap between the back of the wheel and the suspension, brake caliper height across the B7-to-B8 brake upgrade, hub bore confirmation (57.1mm on 2000-2008 cars, 66.56mm on B8 and B9), lug bolt seat depth, and the suspension-variant deltas on the B9 (steel spring vs air vs lowered). At our fitment facility in Chandler, Arizona, the Element Wheels team measures directly on the physical platforms we support. We don't pull specs from manufacturer sheets the way most retailers do.

Every wheel we recommend is backed by our Fitment Guarantee. If a wheel does not fit, we pick up the wheels and refund 100 percent. No risk to you.
