The RS3 8Y has a reverse-staggered factory package, with wider wheels and tyres at the front. Track owners also use square 18-inch sets, but the front offset difference makes spacers an essential part of those documented setups.

Read these before choosing wheels for the RS3: they explain the offset, fitment and hub numbers in this guide.
Starting points for a build. Read the notes with each setup, especially if your car is lowered or has different brakes.
Documented for Apex VS-5RS wheels. Street tyres fit with steel brakes; carbon-ceramic brakes require 3–5 mm front spacers and matching longer bolts. Wide track tyres may need extra camber.
Apex fitment requires 18–22 mm front spacers and matching extended bolts or studs. ET42 is the wheel offset before spacers, giving an effective front ET20–24. Confirm the wheel design against the brake package.
Check the exact setup
There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.
Measure before ordering
A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.
These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.
Upload a photo and start with a look that suits the RS3. Try the wheels, colour and stance before you spend on parts.

These tools start with the RS3 Sportback / saloon, 19-inch summer package front size. Choose your own trim or axle in the calculator if it differs.
5x112, with a 57.1 mm centre bore and M14x1.5 bolts.
The factory reverse stagger helps reduce understeer. It uses 19x9 ET25 fronts and 19x8 ET46 rears.
Specific designs do. Apex lists an 18-inch VS-5RS reverse-staggered setup for steel brakes; its carbon-ceramic application needs 3–5 mm front spacers.
The listed 18x9 ET42 setup needs 18–22 mm front spacers and matching extended hardware. Do not fit it using standard-length bolts.
Audi's October 2023 workshop guide explicitly specifies 120 Nm for RS3 8Y. The 140 Nm A3 8Y entry is separate.
Factory tyre (tire) sizes for the 2021–present Audi RS3 8Y are 265/30 R19 and 245/35 R19, depending on trim, with wider rears on staggered setups. Your tyre placard shows the size for your car.
Factory wheels are 19 × 9 inch and 19 × 8 inch, depending on trim. The stock table lists the offset for each.
57.1 mm. Aftermarket wheels with a larger bore need hub-centric rings sized to it.
This guide is a starting point, not a fitment guarantee. Specs can differ by market, trim and previous modifications. Confirm all sizes, clearances and fastener requirements with a qualified wheel and tyre professional before buying or fitting parts.
