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 sedan's wheel spec is a balance point the factory tuned between ride comfort, steering feel, and everyday durability. Forging lets us hold that same structural margin while cutting rotational mass, which is where most of the real-world benefit — quicker steering response, marginally better ride — actually comes from.
The Audi A6L e-tron ships from the factory on a 5x112 bolt pattern with a 66.5mm center bore and a 18x8J ET40 wheel. Our flush reference for the Audi A6L e-tron is 19x9J ET30.; our maximum aggressive reference is 20x9.5J ET25. — beyond that, expect clearance issues against the fender liner without further modification.
Audi A6L e-tron OE Wheel Specs
The Audi A6L e-tron ships from the factory on 5x112 bolt pattern wheels with a 66.5mm center bore. The stock wheel size is 18x8J 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.
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Audi A6L e-tron (2017) we drill the 5x112 pattern and cut the centre bore to 66.5mm on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.
Converting these ET figures to backspacing? Use the wheel offset and backspacing calculator.
The figures on this page are part of our open wheel fitment dataset — 10,093 vehicles, free to download, CC BY 4.0.
Offset and Backspacing: Factory Wheel vs Options
Backspacing ≈ width/2 + ET/25.4 + 0.5 in. "Inward" means closer to the suspension; "outward" means closer to the fender lip.
| Setup | Size | ET | Backspacing | Inward vs OE | Outward vs OE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Factory (OE) | 18x8J | ET40 | 6.07 in (154 mm) | — | — |
| Flush | 19x9J | ET30 | 6.18 in (157 mm) | +3 mm | +23 mm |
| Maximum | 20x9.5J | ET25 | 6.23 in (158 mm) | +4 mm | +34 mm |
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Audi A6L e-tron (5x112, 66.5 mm Bore)
In our database, 167 other vehicle entries from 6 makes use exactly the same 5x112 bolt pattern and 66.5 mm center bore. Factory wheels from these cars bolt on and center on the hub without rings; offset and width still have to be checked.
5x112 is used by 21.6% of the vehicle pages in our English fitment guide (1,407 of 6,503); 11.9% of those also use a 66.5 mm center bore.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 66.5 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 66.5 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 66.6 mm | 66.6 → 66.5 mm |
| 67.1 mm | 67.1 → 66.5 mm |
| 70.1 mm | 70.1 → 66.5 mm |
| 70.5 mm | 70.5 → 66.5 mm |
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 66.5 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 66.5 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Audi A6L e-tron use?
The 2017 Audi A6L e-tron uses a 5x112 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Audi A6L e-tron use?
The Audi A6L e-tron uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x112), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Audi A6L e-tron?
The Audi A6L e-tron's center bore is 66.5mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than this, hub-centric rings are recommended so the wheel centers on the hub itself rather than relying on the lug bolts alone.
What size are the factory (stock) wheels on the Audi A6L e-tron?
Factory wheels on the Audi A6L e-tron are 18x8J ET40.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Audi A6L e-tron?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 19x9J at ET30 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Audi A6L e-tron.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Audi A6L e-tron?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Audi A6L e-tron?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 6.18" of backspacing.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Audi A6L e-tron?
The Audi A6L e-tron runs the same wheel size front and rear from the factory, so staggered fitment is not required. ANKUSI can still forge a staggered set (wider rear) on request if you want a more aggressive stance.
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.
