Quick answer: The Audi R8 (2009–2015 Type 42 and 2017+ Type 4S) uses a 5×112 bolt pattern and requires a staggered setup — a narrower front and wider rear, because it's mid-engine. Variant builds forged wheels for the R8 in a staggered 20×9 front / 20×11 rear fitment — and for a truly bespoke exotic, multi-piece 3-piece and EX2 builds are available. Every set is forged, hub-centric, machined to the R8's factory hub bore, and built to clear the factory brakes — including carbon-ceramic packages. Shop all R8 wheels →
Audi R8 fitment basics
- Bolt pattern: 5×112
- Setup: Staggered (mandatory) — the rear is wider than the front
- Variant fitment: 20×9 front / 20×11 rear
- Hub-centric: machined to the R8's hub bore, so no vibration and no hub-centric rings needed
- TPMS: fully compatible with your factory R8 sensors
The Variant R8 fitment
Variant builds the R8 in a staggered 20×9 / 20×11 forged setup that suits both the first-generation (2009–2015) and second-generation (2017+) cars. It fills the arches and gives the R8 a wide, planted supercar stance while staying built to your exact spec for a proper fit and brake clearance.
Forged monoblock designs for the R8
The forged monoblock designs below are the most popular starting point for the R8 — each forged from a single piece of 6061-T6: the Maxim, Nysa, Rian, Sena, and Zeno. Finishes are fully customizable — popular R8 choices include Gloss Black, Satin Black, Gloss Gunmetal, Satin Gunmetal, Gloss Bronze, Satin Bronze, Raw Milled, and Chrome Powder.
Going custom: multi-piece & built-to-order options for your R8
An exotic deserves a bespoke wheel — and every R8 set is built to order:
- 3-Piece Forged (3P & 3P+): a forged center, barrel, and lip with fully customizable face, lip depth, and hardware — the ultimate way to make an R8 one-of-one.
- EX2 (EVO 2-piece): the EVO designs in a lightweight two-piece build — a sharp street-and-track option.
- 2-Piece Forged: a forged face on a forged barrel for a clean custom look with more spec flexibility than a monoblock.
- EVO Beadlock (EBL): a true beadlock-style wheel for track and motorsport use.
All are made to order to your exact R8 fitment. Request a quote to spec a custom build.

Why forged matters on an R8
The R8 is a precision mid-engine supercar, so reducing unsprung weight sharpens its responses. Variant's forged wheels are made from 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum — stronger and lighter than cast or flow-formed wheels — for crisper handling and better ride quality without giving up strength.

Frequently asked questions
What bolt pattern is the Audi R8?
The Audi R8 uses a 5×112 bolt pattern across both the 2009–2015 and 2017+ generations.
What wheel size fits an Audi R8?
Variant builds the R8 in a staggered 20×9 front / 20×11 rear forged setup.
Does the R8 need a staggered setup?
Yes — the mid-engine R8 runs a wider rear wheel than front. Variant's 20×9/20×11 keeps that staggered stance.
Can I get multi-piece wheels for my R8?
Yes. Beyond forged monoblocks, the R8 can be built in 2-piece forged, 3-piece forged (3P/3P+), EX2, or EVO Beadlock — all made to order. Request a quote to spec yours.
What's the difference between monoblock and 3-piece wheels?
A monoblock is forged from a single piece for maximum strength and a clean look. A 3-piece wheel uses a forged center, barrel, and lip bolted together, so you can fully customize the face, width, lip depth, and hardware.
Will Variant wheels clear the R8's brakes?
Yes — Variant R8 wheels are built to clear the factory brakes, including carbon-ceramic packages.

Yes, they're compatible with the factory R8 TPMS sensors.
