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
A wagon carries wagon-specific weight distribution — more mass over the rear axle when loaded — so wheel strength at the rear corners matters as much as the front. Forging lets us match the factory's strength target on both ends while keeping rotational mass down, which keeps the ride composed whether the cargo area is empty or full.
The Audi RS6 Avant (All) ships from the factory on a 5x112 bolt pattern with a 66.5mm center bore and a 22x10.5J ET19 wheel. Our flush reference for the Audi RS6 Avant (All) is 22x11J ET12.; our maximum aggressive reference is 23x11.5J ET10. — beyond that, expect clearance issues against the fender liner without further modification.
Audi RS6 Avant (All) OE Wheel Specs
The Audi RS6 Avant (All) ships from the factory on 5x112 bolt pattern wheels with a 66.5mm center bore. The stock wheel size is 22x10.5J ET19, 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 RS6 Avant (All) owners run 22x11J ET12. This setup tucks the wheel face closer to the fender lip while staying within safe load and clearance limits.

Decision Guide
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as: wheel width (in) / 2 + offset (mm) / 25.4 + 0.5.
- OE 22x10.5J ET19: backspacing ≈ 6.5"
- Flush 22x11J ET12: backspacing ≈ 6.47"
- Max 23x11.5J ET10: backspacing ≈ 6.64"

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.
