About the Audi A5

The Audi A5 is Audi's design-led answer to the compact executive class—a coupe, Sportback, and (in earlier generations) cabriolet built for drivers who want the everyday comfort and quattro all-wheel-drive grip of an A4, wrapped in a sportier, lower-slung body. It has always been the model buyers reach for when they want their Audi to look as good parked as it drives.

The original A5 (8T/B8) arrived for 2008 sharing its underpinnings with the B8-generation A4, and set the template that's carried through ever since: a long hood, a coupe roofline, and a range that stretched from comfort-focused Premium trims up to the S5 and RS5 performance models. The 2nd generation (8W/B9) moved to Audi's newer MLB Evo platform for 2017, sharpening the styling and pushing wheel sizes upward across the lineup. For 2025, Audi reshuffled its sedan lineup entirely, and the A5 nameplate now also covers what used to be the A4 sedan—so today's A5 lineup is broader than it's ever been.

Wheel design has followed the car's sportier image. Early B8 models mostly ran 17" and 18" wheels in clean, simple finishes, with the S5 and RS5 stepping up to staggered 19" and 20" setups. By the B9 generation, 19" wheels became common even outside the S5, and Audi introduced darker Black Optic finishes alongside the standard silver and machined-face options. The current lineup carries that forward, with the S5 now offering staggered wheels up to 20".

Shoppers cross-shopping the A5 typically also look at the BMW 4 Series and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe—similarly sized, similarly priced coupes aimed at buyers who want style first without giving up everyday usability. Compared to those rivals, the A5 tends to appeal to drivers who want quattro all-wheel drive as a genuine year-round option, along with Audi's more understated take on luxury design.

Vehicle Generations & Wheel Changes

The A5 has gone through three generations, and unlike some Audi models, the core bolt pattern has stayed the same throughout—the bigger changes have been in wheel diameter, offset, and the 2025 platform overhaul that folded the A4 sedan into the A5 nameplate.

Generation Model Years Bolt Pattern Notes
1st Gen (8T, B8) 2008–2016 5x112 Original A5 coupe/Sportback/cabriolet platform, shared underpinnings with the B8 A4
2nd Gen (8W, B9) 2017–2024 5x112 New MLB Evo platform; same core bolt pattern and center bore as B8
3rd Gen (B10) 2025–present 5x112 All-new platform; A5 nameplate now covers what was previously the A4 sedan as well

The single biggest thing to know: Every A5 generation shares the same 5x112 bolt pattern and roughly 66.5mm center bore. That makes wheels more interchangeable across A5 model years than on many other vehicles, though width and wheel diameter still vary by trim, so it's worth checking those before swapping.

OEM Wheel Sizes & Fitment by Year

Exact wheel sizes varied by trim and body style (coupe, Sportback, cabriolet, sedan), so treat these as the typical factory range for each era.

Prestige 19" Largest wheel option outside of S line/S5 packages
S line / Black Optic 19" Sport-tuned suspension; offset matched to firmer ride
S5 19" staggered Larger brakes; wheel spoke design must clear bigger calipers
RS5 20" staggered Widest factory fitment; least interchangeable with other trims

Why Choose Genuine OEM Wheels?

Factory (OEM) wheels are engineered specifically for your A5's suspension geometry, brake clearance, and load ratings. They're designed to look right on your A5 while staying true to Audi's overall design language—which is a big part of why a genuine wheel just looks more “Audi” than a generic aftermarket option, even one styled to look similar.

  • Guaranteed fitment. No adapters, spacers, or “close enough” sizing—genuine wheels match your A5's exact factory specifications, including bolt pattern and hub bore.
  • Resale and appearance. A stock-style wheel keeps the car looking factory-correct, which matters if you plan to sell later. Many buyers appreciate a vehicle that still has its original factory wheels.
  • Correct load rating. OEM wheels are rated for your A5's exact weight and quattro all-wheel-drive setup, which matters more than people expect on a car carrying extra driveline weight. A knockoff or aftermarket wheel isn't always built to meet that same rating.
  • TPMS compatibility. Factory wheels are drilled and shaped to work with your original tire pressure sensors without modification.

Aftermarket or replica wheels might get you by, but if you're simply replacing a damaged wheel after curb damage, a pothole, or winter driving, a genuine OEM wheel is almost always the simpler, safer choice.

OEM vs. Replica & Aftermarket Wheels

Some drivers choose replica wheels for their similar appearance or price. If your goal is to replace a damaged factory wheel, a genuine OEM wheel offers the best path to the correct fit, finish, and overall appearance, without the extra research replica shopping usually requires. We offer genuine OEM at replica price levels, often less. Here's how the two options typically compare:

OEM Wheels Aftermarket / Replica Wheels
Exact factory fit—bolt pattern and center bore match from the factory Fit varies by brand and model; worth checking against your specific trim
No spacers or hub rings needed May require spacers or hub-centric rings to fit correctly
TPMS-ready out of the box May need sensor relocation, new sensors, or recalibration
Matches the original factory finish and styling Wide range of finishes, styles, and price points
Fitment is already verified for your trim Fitment is worth verifying per wheel before buying
Weight matches factory-engineered specs Weight varies—can be lighter or heavier depending on construction
Resale value stays consistent with a factory-correct look Resale value depends on buyer taste and wheel condition
Finish durability tested to OEM standards Finish durability varies by manufacturer and coating quality

Frequently Asked Questions

What bolt pattern does an Audi A5 use?
All three A5 generations (B8, B9, and B10) use a 5x112 bolt pattern with a center bore of roughly 66.5mm, so this hasn't changed since the A5 launched in 2008.

Can I put 2nd generation (B9) A5 wheels on a 1st generation (B8) A5?
Generally yes, since both generations share the same 5x112 bolt pattern and center bore. Width and wheel diameter can differ by trim, though, so it's worth checking fitment before swapping, especially with S5 or RS5 wheels.

Do all A5 trims use the same size wheel?
No. Premium and Premium Plus trims typically run smaller 18" wheels, while Prestige and S line step up to 19", and S5 or RS5 models use 19" or 20" staggered setups paired with larger brakes.

Is a genuine OEM wheel really worth it over a replica?
For most owners, yes. A genuine OEM wheel takes the guesswork out of fitment, TPMS compatibility, and load rating, and it keeps the car looking factory-correct—something that tends to matter again at resale time, when buyers are comparing your A5 against others on the lot.

Final Thoughts

The Audi A5's wheel fitment is more consistent than most vehicles on this list; the 5x112 bolt pattern and roughly 66.5mm center bore have carried through all three generations, so the real variables are wheel diameter and trim-specific brake clearance. Whether you're replacing a curbed rim, buying take-off wheels, or shopping for a full winter set, a genuine OEM wheel is the simplest way to keep that fitment factory-correct and your A5 looking the way it did on the day it left the dealership. If you're unsure which factory wheel originally came on your Audi A5, Finish Line Wheels can help you identify the correct replacement.
