2020 Audi Q5 Wheel Interchange

tl;dr

Use 5x112 wheels with a 66.5 mm center bore and M14x1.5 bolts. The on-page calculator will help you test width, offset, and tire changes. The data below includes mixed trim info, so confirm your exact OEM sizes from the door placard or manual before buying.

Recommendation

I recommend staying close to your OEM geometry first, then adjust in small steps:

• Match mounting: 5x112 bolt pattern, 66.5 mm hub bore, M14x1.5 hardware.
• Keep offset near ET35 unless you have measured clearance.
• Use the calculator to keep total tire diameter close to stock.
• Test +5 mm width or +5 mm offset changes before larger moves.
• Confirm seat type on your lug bolts (ball vs cone) before ordering new hardware.

Impact

• Offset: More positive pulls wheels inward, more negative pushes outward. This shifts fender and strut clearance.
• Width: Wider wheels stretch inner and outer edges. Check caliper and liner clearance in the calculator.
• Tire diameter: A larger diameter raises ride height and alters speedometer. Keep variance minimal.
• Unsprung weight: Heavier setups can slow steering and braking response.

Risks

• Caliper spoke clearance issues with low offsets or bulky spoke designs.
• Hub bore mismatch causing vibration if not properly hub-centric.
• Wrong bolt seat type or length, especially with spacers.
• Tire rub on liners under compression or full lock.
• Load rating and speed rating below OEM requirements.
• TPMS and ABS system behavior if overall diameter changes too much.

2020 Audi Q5 - OEM fitment we have

Some values vary by trim. Do not assume a single setup fits all 2020 Q5 models. Confirm with the door placard and owner’s manual, then verify in the calculator.

How to use the calculator on wheelinterchange.com

• Set “Installed on” as 2020 Audi Q5.
• Pick your actual OEM wheel and tire from your door placard to establish baseline.
• Enter donor wheel specs or use “Custom wheel size” for diameter, width, and offset.
• Enter “Custom tire size” to preserve overall diameter. Watch the live clearance and diameter changes.
• Keep the outer poke and inner clearance changes conservative. Small changes first.

Checklist

• Confirm your trim’s OEM wheel and tire from the door placard and manual.
• Verify 5x112, 66.5 mm hub bore, and M14x1.5 bolts on your car.
• Measure brake caliper clearance if considering tight-spoke designs.
• Check bolt seat type on your current bolts before buying wheels or hardware.
• Use the calculator to model width and offset changes and to keep tire diameter close to stock.
• Check load and speed ratings meet or exceed OEM.
• Plan torque settings per Audi spec and re-torque after a short shakedown.

Gotchas

• Hub-centric rings are only correct if the ring’s inner diameter matches 66.5 mm and the outer matches the new wheel’s bore. Do not guess ring sizes.
• Spacers change required bolt length. Ensure thread engagement is correct and safe.
• Ball-seat vs cone-seat bolts are not interchangeable. Match the wheel’s seat profile.
• Winter chains need extra inner clearance. Confirm before downsizing diameter or increasing tire sidewall.

Next actions

1. Read your door jamb placard to confirm the factory tire and pressure for your exact 2020 Q5.
2. Open the calculator on wheelinterchange.com and set your “Installed on” vehicle.
3. Enter your confirmed OEM sizes as baseline. Ignore mixed entries and use your placard values.
4. Test candidate wheels by width and offset first. Keep offset changes small near ET35 unless measured.
5. Adjust tire sizes to maintain overall diameter. Aim to keep the speedometer close.
6. Plan hardware: correct seat type, M14x1.5, proper length if using spacers. Match hub bore or specify rings precisely.
7. Test-fit one front and one rear. Spin to check caliper and liner clearance lock-to-lock.
8. Torque bolts in a star pattern to the OEM spec from your manual. Re-torque after 50-100 miles.

Helpful tools

• 1/2 inch torque wrench
• Wheel hanger guide pin M14x1.5
• Digital caliper for hub and ring sizing
• Tire pressure gauge
