Installing 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers will gain the low and wide stance necessary for a high-performance super sedan. The 2023 Audi RS 7 is a high-performance two-seater with flared fenders, a spacious interior that unites street style and business scenes, and a luxurious and tech-filled interior setup that proves the cost is worth it. The 591-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8 engine with eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive will make for a more stable ride. The rear-wheel steering system and excellent suspension structure make the RS 7 light to drive, and the hatchback body offers more space and a comfortable ride.
In terms of exterior requirements, the stock offset seems to be inadequate due to the fenders protruding more to meet the RS 7’s sports car profile, which has made many customers want to correct the offset with 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers, adjusting the wheel position to get a fuller body line and more aggressive style in line with the sports car definition. Modifying the liftable suspension and installing 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers can achieve low and wide stances. Of course, purchasing expensive aftermarket wheels can also be one of your options, which will cost more.
Do 2023 Audi RS 7 Wheel Spacers Affect Offset?
The 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers are mounted at the hub and hub assembly neck, which increases the clearance between the two and provides more wheel well space to help the car get more out of the tuning kit, which includes positive offset aftermarket wheels, larger performance brakes and more. Technically speaking, offset refers to the distance from the mounting plane of the wheel to the centerline of the wheel, usually in millimeters. Since the wheel’s mounting surface may be before or after the centerline, the offset can be positive, negative, or zero.
And while stock wheels, in general, favor a larger positive offset because the wheel is recessed on the inside of the fender to help reduce road stain splash, this has become something that many customers want to change. Moving the wheels flush with the fenders will make them flattered and fuller in appearance.
The 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers can be considered an extension of the mounting surface. The 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers reduce the offset, and the wheel’s mounting surface reduces the positive offset. However, it may still be within the positive offset, and if you are not satisfied with the 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel position, you can adjust it with the 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers.
For example, 20″ X 9″ stock wheels ET37, depending on width and diameter. When installing 15mm or 20mm 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers, the offset will be corrected to 37-15=22 / 37-20=17. The corrected offset represents 22mm/17mm of the mounting surface ahead of the centerline. Too much positive and negative offset is detrimental to the vehicle’s driving. If your 2023 Audi RS 7 has a lifted suspension setup, you may need to measure the wheel distance in different states of the 2023 Audi RS 7. This will help avoid the wheel rubbing against the fenders or other suspension kits.
As we mentioned, the positive offset will cause the wheels to sit too far inside the wheel arches. The control arms, suspension, and liners may be victims of excessive positive offset and negatively affect the handling. On the other hand, too much negative offset will push the wheels beyond the wheel arches, which is not as bad as positive offset, but the wheel arches will not cover the wheels and will make the car look silly. BONOSS recommends that you adopt a wheel position flush with the fender, which will effectively enhance the appearance but not at the cost of losing the role of the fender.
What Size 2023 Audi RS 7 Wheel Spacers Can I Run?
You need the right size 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers to fill the clearance between wheels and fenders. You can measure the size of the 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers at home, which is simple. If your 2023 Audi RS 7 has a liftable suspension system, you must measure two data sets to avoid friction. Use a longer straightedge perpendicular to the outside of the tire and the lower end of the fender, the distance on the horizontal distance is the ideal 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers thickness. The same measurement must be repeated after the 2023 Audi RS 7 lowered body.
If you are worried about the wheels rubbing against the fender, you can leave 5mm of space. 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers are fixed after mounting the wheels, so the distance between the tires and the fenders is also fixed. BONOSS recommends installing 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers in 10mm-15mm. Most cars only need a smaller thickness to achieve a perfect stance. After installing the 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers, it is recommended to do the maximum amount of steering to check each component’s fit. This will also help to check the final position of the vehicle wheels.
Will 2023 Audi RS 7 Wheel Spacers Cause Vibration?
This can happen if you buy lug-centric wheel spacers or cheap wheel spacers. The lug-centric wheel spacers rely on lug bolts to hold them in place. The Audi RS7 has a recessed seat inside the wheel center to match the hub assembly’s neck. The clamping force generated by the lug bolts will tighten the wheel, but the additional body weight will lead to the deformation of the bolt holes. Plastic deformation is irreversible, and long-term road feedback will gradually reduce clamping force, resulting in shaking and unstable driving conditions when the vehicle speed exceeds 60mph, which is very dangerous.
Hub-centric 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers have a central ring that eliminates the possibility of shaking. Structurally speaking, the hub-centric belongs to the central part of the wheel spacers, showing a protruding circular structure on the front and a recessed circular structure on the back, which overlaps with the recessed part on the inside of the wheel hub on the front and the hub assembly neck on the back. The three parts are overlapped, and the greater the precision, the more evenly the body’s weight is distributed to the center of each wheel.
The lug bolts must only withstand clamping and shear forces generated by vehicle acceleration. Inferior 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers may also have a hub-centric structure. You can check the fitment of the 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers to the hub assembly plane by placing a piece of white paper between them, and in the case of high precision, the white paper will be clamped and cannot be removed. You can remove the rust from the hub assembly and retest if the paper comes off.
Product Recommendations:
BONOSS recommends the 10mm-12mm Lightweight Plus wheel spacers, which feature a lightweight design that adds more hollowing to reduce weight. The Audi series, including the 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers, averages 30% less weight than the previous generation, and the reduced weight of the 2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers helps reduce the waste of RS 7 wheel spin speed and also reduces the impact of wheel spacers on unsprung weight.
In addition, the Lightweight Plus series is made of 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 forged aluminum alloys, with better tensile strength, yield strength, and other data, suitable for high-performance sports cars, and BONOSS offers extended bolt options to fit wheel spacers for better safety.
2023 Audi RS 7 wheel spacers can be used with extended Forged Titanium Ti-6Al-4V Locking Wheel Bolts. It has excellent performance such as lightweight, good heat resistance, high tensile strength, and corrosion resistance, and each titanium bolt is only 62g, which reduces the under spring weight and helps to reduce the power wastage of the vehicle, which is very cost-effective for customers who are looking for the extremely lightweight.
The heat-resistant performance allows it not to deform at high temperatures. As wheel parts often need to withstand several hundred degrees, titanium alloy can maintain good mechanical properties at high temperatures. Most importantly, this one has an anti-theft feature, unlike the common bolt structure that allows it to be removed with a sleeve equipped by BONOSS, effectively protecting the RS 7’s wheels.
