Understanding Wheel Fitment for Your 2016 Audi RS 7
When it comes to wheel fitment, there’s a common misconception that all wheels can fit any vehicle as long as they look good. You might think, "If the wheels are shiny and the right size, they should work, right?"
Why It Seems True
This idea makes sense at first glance. After all, visual appeal is important, and many aftermarket wheels have a universal design. Plus, there’s often a lot of marketing hype around wheels that suggest they’ll fit various makes and models without much hassle.
What Is True
In reality, wheel fitment is much more nuanced. For your 2016 Audi RS 7, there are specific fitment details you need to consider:
- Bolt pattern: 5x112
- Center bore: 66.6 mm
- Thread size: M14 x 1.5
- Rim diameter: 20 inches
- Rim width: 9.0 inches
- Wheel offset (ET): 35 mm
- Backspacing: 5.88 inches
- Tire section width: 275 mm
- Tire aspect ratio: 35%
- Tire rim diameter: 20 inches
These specifications are crucial for ensuring that your wheels fit properly and function safely.
Implications
Using wheels that don’t match these specifications can lead to handling issues, premature wear on tires, or even safety hazards. It’s not just about aesthetics; proper fitment affects how your vehicle drives and performs. Think of it as creating a cohesive system where each part works in harmony.
