1996 Audi A6 Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1996 Audi A6 Base uses a 5x112 bolt pattern and rolls on 15x7 wheels with a 45mm offset from the factory. You can upgrade to 16, 17, 18, or 19-inch diameters while staying within the compatible widths—ranging from 6.5 inches up to 8 inches depending on your chosen size. The fitment is square across all four corners, so you have complete flexibility in selecting matching sets without worrying about staggered requirements.
Pay close attention to the 57.1mm center bore; any wheel with a larger bore will need hub-centric rings to sit properly on your hub. Since your A6 sits relatively close to the road, aggressive offsets combined with wider wheels risk contact with fenders and suspension components, so staying within the listed compatible specifications protects your investment. The 5x112 pattern is your only bolt circle option—no other patterns will fit this Audi.
Every wheel you choose from our inventory bolts directly onto your A6 and qualifies for free shipping throughout the lower 48 states. Heritage Wheel, Aodhan, Motegi Racing, Work Wheels, and other premium brands in stock all fit your vehicle perfectly, giving you plenty of style and performance options to explore.
