2022 Audi R8 Wheel Interchange

OEM wheel/tire sizes and fitment specs for the 2022 Audi R8.

2022 Audi R8 Wheel Interchange Guide

You want to swap wheels without guessing and without rubbing, vibration, or damaged hardware. The problem is that small changes in width, offset, and tire size cause big fitment effects. I will walk you through a safe, repeatable process using the wheelinterchange.com calculator and basic checks.

Goal

Choose wheels and tires that fit a 2022 Audi R8 under real-world constraints. Validate bolt pattern, hub fit, brake clearance, track change, and speedometer effect before you buy or mount anything.

Prerequisites

  • Know your exact trim, brake package, and any suspension changes. Fitment can vary by trim and options.
  • Have your current wheel and tire details. Use the OEM data below as a baseline.
  • Plan to verify hub bore and hardware type on the car. Center bore is not confirmed in the data provided.
  • Tools recommended:

Values are what we have. Items marked unknown may vary by trim. Confirm with the on-page calculator and OEM sources.

Spec Value Notes
Bolt pattern 5x112 5 studs on a 112 mm circle
Thread size M14 x 1.5 Lug bolt thread pitch
Center bore Unknown Verify on vehicle or with OEM documentation
Rim size 19 x 8.5 in Reference front fitment provided
Offset (ET) 42 mm Positive offset
Backspacing 5.9 in As provided
Tire size 245/35R19 Approx overall diameter 568 mm

Assumption: some R8 trims use staggered wheels and tires. If your car does, enter front and rear separately in the calculator to validate both ends.

Step by step

1) Confirm your baseline

  • Check your door jamb label, owner’s manual, or EPC for wheel and tire specs for your exact VIN.
  • Measure your current wheel. Width is measured bead to bead. Offset is usually cast or stamped on the wheel as ETxx.
  • Visually confirm hardware. Most Audi models use lug bolts, not studs. Seat type can be ball or cone depending on the wheel. Do not mix seat types.

2) Verify hub pilot size

  • Remove one front wheel. Clean the hub face.
  • Use a digital caliper to measure the hub’s outer diameter. That is your required wheel center bore.
  • If your replacement wheel has a larger bore, plan hub-centric rings that match your hub size to the wheel bore. If the wheel bore is smaller than the hub, it will not seat.

3) Use the wheelinterchange.com calculator

  • Open the calculator on wheelinterchange.com.
  • Set “Installed on (your vehicle)” to 2022 Audi R8.
  • Enter your baseline wheel and tire from the table or your measured values.
  • For “Wheels from (donor vehicle)”, enter the donor wheel specs if you know them. If not, use “Custom wheel size” to test sizes. Adjust rim diameter, width, and offset.
  • Use “Custom tire size” to adjust section width and aspect ratio. The tool updates tire diameter when rim diameter changes so you can track speedometer effect.
  • Watch the calculator’s inner clearance and outer poke deltas. Small numbers matter on supercar brake packages.

4) Apply safe ranges and trade-offs

  • Offset change: keep track width change modest. As a general guideline, aim within about ±5 to 8 mm per side unless you have measured room. More poke risks fender contact. More inboard risks strut or liner contact.
  • Inner barrel clearance: target at least 3 mm from the strut and brake lines at static ride height. More is better under load.
  • Tire diameter: try to keep overall diameter within about ±2 percent of baseline to limit speedometer and ABS/ESC impact.
  • Load rating: wheel and tire load index must meet or exceed the vehicle’s axle loads. Check your door label for GAWR and match accordingly.
  • Hardware: if you add spacers or change wheel thickness at the pad, confirm proper thread engagement and the correct seat type for the wheel. Use extended bolts when required. Do not stack spacers.

5) Plan a test fit

  • Dry fit one corner with no tire first if possible. Spin to check caliper spoke clearance.
  • Mount the tire, then test full lock both directions and compress the suspension to check liner and fender clearance.
  • Torque to the OEM spec for your VIN using a calibrated torque wrench. Re-torque after 50 to 100 miles.

Validation

  • Center bore: wheel sits fully on the hub with no gap. If the wheel’s bore is larger than the hub, use correctly sized hub-centric rings.
  • Offset and width: calculator shows acceptable inner and outer changes. Physical test confirms no contact at lock or over bumps.
  • Tire diameter: calculator shows speedometer error within your acceptable range. ABS and stability control behave normally during a short road test.
  • Hardware: bolt seat matches wheel seat. Bolts thread smoothly by hand and clamp the wheel without bottoming.
  • Ride check: no vibration through 80 mph. No rubbing sounds at parking speeds or during hard cornering.

Troubleshooting

  • Steering shake at speed: inspect wheel centering. Add or correct hub-centric rings. Verify wheel balance and road-force if needed.
  • Clicking or clunk on turns: check bolt torque and seat mismatch. Ball-seat bolts on cone-seat wheels will not seat safely.
  • Rubbing on inner liner: reduce width, increase positive offset, or choose a narrower tire. Calculator can show
