Expert Buying Guide for 2002 Audi S8
For your 2002 Audi S8, the 5x112 bolt pattern is shared across 2001–2024 models, but critical specs differ. The 57.1mm center bore requires hub-centric rings for aftermarket wheels to prevent vibration and ensure proper load transfer. Offset is sensitive: stock is 42mm; deviations beyond ±5mm may cause rubbing or clearance issues with the S8's wider fenders. Always use lug nuts with the correct thread pitch (14x1.50) and seat type—Audi uses ball seats (R14 ball seat). Conical aftermarket lugs can damage factory wheels. Re-torque after 50 miles of driving.

Quick Tips & Safety Warnings
- ✅ Re-torque lug nuts to 90 ft-lb after 50 miles of driving to account for wheel seating.
- ✅ Aftermarket wheels with 66.6mm bore require 57.1mm hub-centric rings; verify ring thickness matches wheel bore.
- ✅ Avoid spacers thicker than 5mm without extended studs; stock studs are short and may not engage enough threads.
- ⚠️ Confirm bolt pattern carefully. 5x112 is often confused with other common 5-lug patterns.
- ⚠️ Torque lugs in a star pattern to 100 ft-lbs (135 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).
