Audi RS6 Avant C7 wheel fitment

The C7 RS6 Avant came on 9.5-inch wheels in 20 or 21 inches, which leaves room under the arches. Owners usually fit 10.5-inch wheels in 21 or 22 inches, often with a modest drop, and pick a spoke design that clears the large front brakes.

5x112 bolt pattern · 66.5 mm centre bore · Stock wheels: 20 × 9.5, 21 × 9.5 inch · Stock tyres: 275/35 R20, 285/30 R21

Popular community setups

Starting points for a build. Read the notes with each setup, especially if your car is lowered or has different brakes.

21-inch deep-concave daily

Front and rear
21 × 10.5 inch, ET25 · 285/30 R21

An RS246 owner runs this on H&R 20 mm lowering with no spacers and reports no rubbing, although the wheel sits closer to the suspension than stock. LFI's suggested 21-inch C7 spec is a similar 21x10.5 ET20 with 285/30 R21.

22-inch street

Front and rear
22 × 10.5 inch, ET30 · 295/25 R22

Shown in the Wheel Front gallery on Vossen HF-4T wheels. The 295 tyre is tight, so get a proper alignment and keep an eye on the arch liners. Another gallery car runs 22x10.5 ET35 with 15 mm front and 20 mm rear spacers.

Aggressive 22x11 on links

Front and rear
22 × 11 inch, ET20 · 285/25 R22

One RS246 owner runs 15 mm spacers on top of ET20 (about ET5 effective), lowered on adjustable air-suspension links with steel brakes, and reports no rubbing. Another owner trying something similar had serious front rubbing, so treat this as the limit, not a safe default.

Width and offset guidance

Offset range

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.

Common width limit

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.

Clearance notes

  • Factory wheels use M14x1.5 ball-seat bolts. Aftermarket wheels with conical seats need different bolts, and spacers need longer ones.
  • The hub is 66.5 mm; some wheel makers quote 66.6 mm for the bore. Owners report that older C6 RS6 wheels needed adapting to fit, so check the bore before reusing them.
  • Torque is 120 Nm for the factory wheel bolts.
  • Audi's smallest factory RS6 wheel is 20 inches. Aftermarket 20s can clear the brakes, including ceramics, but need spokes that angle steeply away from the hub to clear the calipers.
  • Owners on air suspension often lower with adjustable links. The ride height and suspension mode you settle on change arch clearance, so test-fit at the final height.
  • Wider 22-inch setups need careful alignment. One owner on 22x11 wheels fitted front upper camber bushes to gain extra camber and arch clearance.
  • Check full steering lock and suspension travel with the car loaded. Match wheel load rating, tyre load and speed ratings, fastener seats and brake clearance.

Will 20-inch wheels fit over C7 RS6 ceramic brakes?

Some do. Owners have fitted 20-inch BBS designs over ceramics, but the spokes must angle sharply away from the centre to clear the calipers. Check the exact wheel.

What tyre fits a 21x10.5 wheel on an RS6 C7?
