Audi Rotor wheels

Chris90 · Jun 26, 2016

Hi

Seen a set of Audi Rotors on a A5 the other day. It looked like the spokes were really concaved. Much more than the ones on my A4.

Can anyone confirm the A5 wheels are different?

Anyone know what the width and ET compares to between the 2 cars?

I know you can get differing widths, so maybe they have to be concave to clear the struts etc..

Seen some A5's have a 275/30/20 tyre, so that would suggest the wheel is a lot wider. Guess thats where the concave comes from.

Offset is much lower on the A/S5. The 19" rotors on my S5 are ET33. The 20" ones from the RS5 are ET26.

Might get away with the 19" rotors at ET33, but highly doubt the 20" ET26 will fit an A4.
Backs might be alright on the 19s, but would worry about poke on the front.

Tyre sizes are 255/35/19 or 265/30/20. Sometimes the RS5 20" Rotors might be wider at 275/30/20.

Stock A4 looks to be 8.5J ET43 (8K0 601 025 AR)

A5 appears to be a 9J ET33 (8T0 601 025 CD)

As you say, the RS4 ones are ET26, also in 9J.

I reckon a A4 would easily get away with a 10mm spacer so dropping ET down to ET33, which would sit nicely with the 9J wheels.

Would love a set of 9s instead of my 8.5s, but when standard genuine wheels fetch over £1k, that idea can wait.

Check out @Dsport's thread. The concave on his rotors is really deep on the A4.

I went for a 10mm hubsentric spacer for the rear, and it wouldn't clear the hub, I would have thought they'd have fit as they listed the B8 A4, it measured 2mm off the hub,
I'm not sure if anyone else has managed to fit 10mm hubsentrics

Chris90 · Jun 27, 2016

I guess that is because the centre hub part of the standard hub is pretty deep? bigger than 10mm?

I had that problem on my golf, where the hubcentric part of the spacer was stopping the spacer sitting flush with the hub, A grinder sorted that out, but wouldnt fancy it on my audi.

Stanley's does sit awesome. Im just not sure how the rear would sit with a 10-12mm spacer on the back with no drop in ride height. Certainly wouldnt mind the track looking a bit fatter from the back!
