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 V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant runs a 5x112 bolt pattern, 57.1mm center bore, and a 14x6.0J, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 15x7.0J ET25, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Audi V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 16x7.5J ET20 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Audi V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant OE Wheel Specs
The 1989 Audi V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant (Sedan/Wagon) uses a 5x112 bolt pattern with a 57.1mm center bore. Factory wheels are 14x6.0J F/R.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Balances ride comfort with everyday fuel efficiency
- A widely used size in this segment, so tire and wheel availability stays strong
- Keeps unsprung weight low for stable, predictable handling
- Maintains clearance for the factory brake calipers and suspension components
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Audi V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant (1989) we drill the 5x112 pattern and cut the centre bore to 57.1mm 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.

Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 14x6.0J ET37 → ~4.96″ backspacing
- Flush: 15x7.0J ET25 → ~4.98″ backspacing
- Max: 16x7.5J ET20 → ~5.04″ backspacing
Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or looking for your exact Audi spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Audi V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Audi V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant use?
The 1989 Audi V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant uses a 5x112 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Audi V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant use?
The Audi V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant 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 V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant?
The Audi V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant's center bore is 57.1mm. 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 V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant?
Factory wheels on the Audi V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant are 14x6.0J F/R.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Audi V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 16x7.5J at ET20 offset. Going beyond this typically causes rubbing under compression unless you roll the fenders or add camber correction.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Audi V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 15x7.0J at ET25 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Audi V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Audi V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant?
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 V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant?
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 4.98" 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 V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant?
The Audi V8L quattro / 90 quattro / 200 Avant 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: Vehicles built before the 2008 model year were not federally required to carry factory TPMS in the US, though many manufacturers adopted it earlier; verify whether your specific build has TPMS before ordering sensor-compatible wheels.
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.
