The Audi RS Q8 is a stunning SUV that combines performance, luxury and style. It has a powerful 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that delivers 591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the fastest SUVs in the world. It also has a sleek design with aggressive lines, large air intakes, a sporty rear spoiler and a distinctive honeycomb grille.
But what if you want to make your RS Q8 stand out even more? One of the easiest and most effective ways to enhance the look and handling of your vehicle is to install Audi RS Q8 wheel spacers. Wheel spacers are metal discs that fit between the wheel hub and the wheel, pushing the wheel outwards for a wider stance and a more flush fitment with the fender.
However, not all wheel spacers are created equal. There are different types, sizes and qualities of wheel spacers available on the market, and choosing the wrong ones can cause problems such as vibration, noise, alignment issues or even wheel failure. Therefore, it is important to do some research and find the best wheel spacers for your RS Q8.
Types of Audi RS Q8 wheel spacers
There are two main types of wheel spacers: hub-centric and lug-centric.
- Hub-centric wheel spacers are designed to fit snugly over the hub of your vehicle, ensuring a perfect centering of the wheel. They have a lip or ring that matches the diameter of the hub bore of your wheel, creating a seamless connection between the two. Hub-centric wheel spacers are generally safer, quieter and more durable than lug-centric ones.
- Lug-centric wheel spacers are designed to fit over the lug bolts or studs of your vehicle, relying on them to center the wheel. They do not have a lip or ring that matches the hub bore of your wheel, leaving a gap between the two. Lug-centric wheel spacers can cause vibration, noise or alignment issues if they are not installed properly or if they are not compatible with your lug nuts or bolts.
For your RS Q8, we recommend using hub-centric wheel spacers for optimal fitment and performance. They will ensure a smooth and safe ride without compromising the quality or integrity of your wheels.
Sizes of Audi RS Q8 wheel spacers
The size of the wheel spacer refers to its thickness, which determines how much it will push out your wheel from the hub. The size of the wheel spacer you need depends on wheel offset, wheel width, and clearance.
The offset of your stock or aftermarket wheels. The offset is the distance between the centerline of the wheel and the mounting surface of the hub. A positive offset means that the wheel is closer to the fender, while a negative offset means that the wheel is farther away from the fender. The stock wheels on your RS Q8 have an offset of +25 mm, which means that they are relatively close to the fender.
The width and diameter of your stock or aftermarket tires. The width and diameter of your tires affect how much they will protrude or tuck under the fender. The stock tires on your RS Q8 have a width of 295 mm and a diameter of 22 inches, which means that they are relatively wide and large.
The clearance between your wheels/tires and your suspension components, brake calipers, fenders or inner liners. The clearance is the amount of space you have between these parts to avoid rubbing or interference issues. The clearance varies depending on your vehicle model, suspension setup, driving style and road conditions.
To find out how much clearance you have on your RS Q8, you can measure it yourself using a ruler or a caliper, or you can consult a professional mechanic or installer. You can also use online calculators or guides to estimate how much clearance you need based on your wheels/tires specifications.
For example, if you have 10 mm of clearance between your stock wheels/tires and your fender, you can choose a 10 mm wheel spacer to make them flush with the fender. However, if you have less than 10 mm of clearance, you may need to choose a smaller size or modify your fender or suspension to accommodate the wheel spacer.
Which Audi RS Q8 wheel spacers are best?
Audi RS Q8 wheel spacers produced by BONOSS are outstanding and edged in the high-strength that completely ensures safety, and a couple of globally patented designs that add more functions to spacers.
BONOSS Audi RS Q8 wheel spacers are high-strength materials like 7075T6 or 6061T6 forged aluminum alloys. 7075T6 aluminum alloy has a compact structure and strong corrosion resistance. It is the best for aviation and marine plates. It has general corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties and anode reaction. The fine grains make the deep drilling performance better, and the tool wear resistance is enhanced.
Besides, BONOSS Audi RS Q8 wheel spacers have undergone black anodized coating, which establishes an oxide film of several microns to hundreds of microns that can be formed on the surface of the aluminum. Compared with the natural oxide film of aluminum alloy, its corrosion resistance, wear resistance and decoration have been significantly improved and enhanced.
BONOSS is the pioneer who devised active cooling grooves. These grooves that are designed in light of aerodynamics are engraved to create space for heat dissipation. In the stock brake assembly, there is no space for the brake kit to drop temperature which causes thermal decay and reduces brake response. The active cooling grooves have been tested to aid on relieve thermal decay and improve brake response, especially when wheels rotate fast.
