How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
Because an SUV's center of gravity is already higher than a sedan's, anything added at the corners — including wheel weight — has an outsized effect on handling balance. A forged wheel lets us hit the visual stance owners want without adding the rotational mass a cast wheel of the same strength would carry.
The Audi Q6 e-tron [US] ships from the factory on a 5x130 bolt pattern with a 66.5mm center bore and a F 19x8.5J ET35 / R 19x9.5J ET40 wheel. Our flush reference for the Audi Q6 e-tron [US] is F 20x9.5J ET25 / R 20x10.5J ET30.; our maximum aggressive reference is F 21x10J ET20 / R 21x11J ET25. — beyond that, expect clearance issues against the fender liner without further modification.
Audi Q6 e-tron [US] OE Wheel Specs
The Audi Q6 e-tron [US] ships from the factory on 5x130 bolt pattern wheels with a 66.5mm center bore. The stock wheel size is F 19x8.5J ET35 / R 19x9.5J ET40, offering a balanced ride that suits most owners without any rubbing or clearance concerns.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Balances ride comfort with steering response and highway efficiency.
- Wide tire and wheel availability at the factory diameter keeps replacement costs low.
- Lower unsprung weight than larger aftermarket wheels helps ride quality and acceleration.
- Guaranteed clearance against brake calipers and suspension components.
Flush Fitment
For a flush look without any body modification, most Audi Q6 e-tron [US] owners run F 20x9.5J ET25 / R 20x10.5J ET30. This setup tucks the wheel face closer to the fender lip while staying within safe load and clearance limits.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
Owners chasing a more aggressive stance push to F 21x10J ET20 / R 21x11J ET25. PPE platform lowering links; 20-inch Vossen HF-5 wheels; regenerative brakes; Continental SportContact 7 tires.

Decision Guide
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as: wheel width (in) / 2 + offset (mm) / 25.4 + 0.5.
- OE 19x8.5J ET35: backspacing ≈ 6.13"
- Flush 20x9.5J ET25: backspacing ≈ 6.23"
- Max 21x10J ET20: backspacing ≈ 6.29"

Wheel Installation Reference: Torque, Thread & TPMS
Thread & Fastener: M14x1.5, ball-seat lug bolt (13mm radius).
Factory Torque Spec: 120 Nm (89 ft-lb). Shared VW/Audi Group ball-seat bolt spec used across most 5x112 Audi models.
TPMS: TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) has been federally mandated on all new light vehicles sold in the US since the 2008 model year. If your wheels use OE-style sensors, have them transferred or cloned to the new wheels at installation.
Tire Pressure: Always set tire pressure to the value on your vehicle's tire placard (driver's doorjamb or glovebox), not the max PSI printed on the tire sidewall — this is trim- and tire-size-specific and stays the same reference point when you switch to a different wheel and tire combination.
Reference data compiled from published OEM service specifications and cross-checked against independent repair sources; always confirm against your owner's manual or door-jamb placard before installation.
