1979 Audi 5000 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
The 1979 Audi 5000 comes stock with a 14x6 wheel at 45mm offset on a 4x108 bolt pattern. You can upgrade to larger diameters while staying comfortable: 15-inch options come in 6, 6.5, or 7-inch widths, while 16 and 17-inch wheels are available in 6.5 to 7.5-inch widths. Since this model runs a square setup rather than staggered fitment, the same size works all four corners.
Pay close attention to the 4x108 bolt pattern—it's the only pattern that will fit your 5000. The hub center bore measures 57.1mm; if your wheel's bore runs larger, you'll need hub-centric rings to ensure proper centering and safety. Wider or more aggressive offsets risk contact with fenders and suspension components, so stay within our verified fitment range to avoid complications.
Every wheel we list bolts on directly and ships free to the lower 48 states. Brands like fifteen52, Motegi Racing, G-LINE ALLOYS, and Race Star all carry fitments in stock for your 5000 right now.
