1981 Audi 5000 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1981 Audi 5000 uses a 4x108 bolt pattern, so that's your non-negotiable fitment anchor. The factory setup runs 14x6 wheels at a 45-millimeter offset. You can step up through multiple sizes—14x6, 15x6, 15x6.5, 15x7, 16x6.5, 16x7, 17x7, and 17x7.5 all work on this chassis. Since the car isn't staggered, you're free to run matching sizes all around.
Keep in mind that 4x108 is specific to your Audi; wheels from other patterns simply won't fit. Your 57.1-millimeter hub bore demands hub-centric rings if you choose a wheel with a larger center bore, ensuring safe, vibration-free rotation. Pushing into wider widths or more aggressive offsets risks interference with fenders and suspension components, so pick your setup conservatively.
Every wheel we carry for your 5000 bolts on directly and ships free throughout the lower 48. fifteen52, Motegi Racing, G-LINE ALLOYS, and Race Star all stock fitments ready to go.
