Renault Mégane RS Mk3 wheel fitment
The Mk3 Mégane RS uses high-offset factory wheels and a 5x114.3 hub. Wider aftermarket wheels are well documented, but rear arch clearance becomes sensitive to offset, tyre shape and lowering.
5x114.3 bolt pattern · 66.1 mm centre bore · Stock wheels: 18 × 8.25, 19 × 8.25 inch · Stock tyres: 225/40 R18, 235/40 R18, 235/35 R19

Explained in our guides
Read these before choosing wheels for the Mégane RS: they explain the offset, fitment and hub numbers in this guide.
- Wheel offset explained: choosing ET without guessingUnderstand positive and negative wheel offset, calculate inner clearance and outer position, and choose an ET using measurements from your own car.
- Flush, poke and tucked fitment: measure the whole tyreUnderstand flush, poked and tucked wheels, calculate how width and offset change the look, and check clearance beyond a parked side-on photograph.
- Hub-centric vs lug-centric wheels: choosing hub ringsLearn what hub rings do, how to specify their inner and outer diameters, and why centring, wheel seats and vibration need separate checks.
Popular community setups
Starting points for a build. Read the notes with each setup, especially if your car is lowered or has different brakes.
18-inch aggressive road and track
- Front and rear
- 18 × 8.5 inch, ET45 · 235/40 R18
The community guide pairs this with about 2 degrees of negative front camber. Other owners report rear rubbing on bumps, even with narrower tyres and lowering springs. Rear arch clearance must be assessed; this is not an unconditional direct fit.
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
- A torque value is omitted. RS-specific retailer and owner sources quote 130 Nm, while the general Mégane III handbook gives 110 Nm and forum reports also mention 140 Nm. An RS-specific Renault instruction was not found to resolve the conflict; obtain the correct specification for the VIN and locking bolts.
- Lowering and wider-running tyres can cause rear rubbing at ET45. Do not treat a broad offset range as a clearance guarantee.
- The Mk2 RS uses a different bolt pattern. Buy wheels for the Mk3 rather than relying on the Mégane RS name alone.
- 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.
