HERE IS WHAT FITS YOUR Audi A3 / S3 

(8V) 

The third-generation Audi A3 and S3 came out swinging with sharp styling, turbo power, and the kind of premium interior Audi is known for. From the factory, they were equipped with 18x7.5 ET51 or 19x8 ET49 wheels, bolted up with Audi’s go-to 5x112 lug pattern and 57.1mm hub bore.

But let’s be honest — factory wheels? They get the job done, but they don’t exactly scream personality. That’s where our Fit Check comes in. Just like with the Miata and Tesla guides, we’re breaking it down into No Hassle, Slight Flex, All The Wheel, and finally YOYO (You’re On Your Own).

So, if you’re ready to swap out those OE rollers for something that actually looks the part, let’s dive in.

No Hassle Fitment

Direct bolt-on fitment, zero headaches. Keeps OE-like comfort and can often reuse stock tire sizes.

Suggested Fitment:

• Square: 18–19” x 8” ET42–50

Recommended Wheels:

Aeris 18x8 ET42
Diverge 18x8 ET42
Myth 18x8 ET43

Scott’s Pick: Go as aggressive with the offset here as you can — it’ll look better while still keeping things hassle-free.

Slight Flex Fitment

Wider stance, more traction, and a proper visual upgrade without going too wild. May need slight suspension consideration with meatier tires.

Suggested Fitment:

• Square: 18–19” x 8.5” ET41–45

Recommended Wheels: 

Hyperspec 19x8.5 ET42
Countergram 19x8.5 ET43
Ampliform 18x8.5  ET43

All The Wheel Fitment

Aggressive but tasteful. You’ll need suspension work, an alignment, and possibly light fender tweaks — but the stance payoff is worth it.

Suggested Fitment:

• Square: 18–19” x 9” ET42–43

Recommended Wheels: 

MRK1 19x9 ET42
Forged F1M 18x9 ET42 
Hyperspec 19x9A ET42

YOYO (You’re On Your Own)

Here’s where things get dicey. Fender rolling, pulling, and body mods are on the table. It’s for the diehards who don’t mind a grinder to chase that ultra-wide stance.

Suggested Fitment:

• Square: 18–19” x 9” ET32–38
