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 S6 Avant e-tron [UK] ships from the factory on a 5x112 bolt pattern with a 66.5mm center bore and a F 20x9J ET35 / R 20x10J ET40 wheel. Our flush reference for the Audi S6 Avant e-tron [UK] is F 21x9.5J ET25 / R 21x10.5J ET30.; our maximum aggressive reference is F 22x10J ET20 / R 22x11J ET25. — beyond that, expect clearance issues against the fender liner without further modification.

Decision Guide
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as: wheel width (in) / 2 + offset (mm) / 25.4 + 0.5.
- OE 20x9J ET35: backspacing ≈ 6.38"
- Flush 21x9.5J ET25: backspacing ≈ 6.23"
- Max 22x10J 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.
