Models Covered in This Guide

2013-2015 B8 Audi RS5 Coupe & Cabriolet

Looking for the best wheel & tire fitment for your B8 Audi RS5? Our B8 RS5 fitment guide has you covered with chassis-specific recommendations that will allow you to run wider rubber to increase performance both on and off the track. This guide covers the US production 2013-2015 RS5 Coupe and Cabriolet models and includes our 19” & 20” Forged VS-5RS fitments that were developed from the ground-up for this chassis. Our B8 RS5 wheels are wider than the OEM wheels and have a more aggressive offset, which we fine-tuned to offer a perfectly flush fit with the fenders both front and rear. With that said, these VS-5RS 19” & 20” fitments will not only make your B8 RS5 standout aesthetically, but they will also vastly improve your overall grip and handling, as well.

Our RS5 specific VS-5RS wheels utilize a 5x112 bolt pattern with a 66.6mm centerbore, allowing you to fit them directly onto your Audi without the need for hubcentric rings. These wheels are also designed with OEM Audi-spec R13 ball seat lug recesses, so no need to swap any of your existing factory hardware with aftermarket lug bolts or studs. Simply bolt on and go!

These fitments are the perfect match for spirited street driving & weekend track warriors seeking to maximize the wheel and tire size that they can fit on their B8 RS5. These aggressive wheel specs will occasionally require supportive modifications commonly found on track cars. Available in 19" and 20" diameters to cater to a variety of performance-focused tire sizes and compounds. With a focus on brake clearance, our Audi-specific fitments are able to clear the OEM Steel and Carbon Ceramic RS5 brakes with ease, as well as a variety of aftermarket BBKs.

Not only will adding negative camber create more room for wider wheel and tire configurations, it more importantly improves handling, turn-in and tire longevity.
