Audi RS e-tron GT Tyre Size, Wheel Specs, PCD, Centre Bore & Torque Settings Guide

The Audi RS e-tron GT is Audi’s flagship high-performance electric GT, combining extreme acceleration with precise chassis engineering. With its wide staggered setup, large brake package, and high torque output, correct tyre fitment and wheel specifications are critical for both safety and performance.

This guide covers all factory tyre sizes, wheel specs, PCD, centre bore, and torque settings for Shopify blog use.

Factory Wheel & Tyre Specifications

OEM Tyre Sizes (Staggered Setup)

20-Inch Factory Setup

• Front: 245/45R20

• Rear: 285/40R20

21-Inch Factory Setup (Most Common RS Spec)

• Front: 265/35R21

• Rear: 305/30R21

These staggered sizes are designed to handle:

• Massive instant EV torque

• Rear-biased traction under acceleration

• High-speed stability

Factory Wheel (Rim) Specifications

20-Inch Wheels

• Front: 20x9.0J ET ~ +50

• Rear: 20x11.0J ET ~ +68

21-Inch Wheels

• Front: 21x9.5J ET ~ +50

• Rear: 21x11.5J ET ~ +66

Key Notes

• Wide rear wheels for traction

• High offset typical of Audi performance EV platform

• Limited clearance due to large brake calipers

PCD (Bolt Pattern)

• 5x130

(Same as Porsche Taycan platform)

Centre Bore

• 71.6 mm

Wheel Nut / Bolt Torque Specification

• 160 Nm

Important

• Always torque using a calibrated torque wrench

• Re-check torque after 50–100 km

• Critical due to EV weight and instant torque delivery

Recommended Tyres for Audi RS e-tron GT

Given the vehicle weight and performance, only premium EV-compatible tyres should be used:

Max Performance (Recommended)

• Michelin Pilot Sport EV

• Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (Non-EV but popular upgrade)

• Continental SportContact 7

• Pirelli P Zero (Elect / AO spec)

Comfort / Touring Option

• Continental PremiumContact 6 / 7

• Michelin Primacy 4+

Key Features to Look For

• Reinforced sidewalls (XL / HL rating)

• Low rolling resistance for EV range

• Noise reduction technology (Acoustic foam)

Important Fitment Considerations

• Load Rating is Critical
  The RS e-tron GT is heavy due to battery weight — always match or exceed OEM load index.

• Staggered Setup Must Be Maintained
  Do NOT rotate front to rear.

• EV Torque Wear
  Rear tyres wear faster due to instant torque delivery.

• Wheel Clearance
  Large brake calipers limit aftermarket wheel designs.
