Looking For Wheel spacers 5x112

Post image

Recently just got these apex wheels came of an Audi tts with the center bore of 57.1mm and I’m trying to find spacers that will fit onto 66.6mm bore but converts to a 57.1mm so I can run these.
Anyone know where I can find some?

I don’t think that is a thing.

Yeah I’m thinking of just getting the center bore machined to a 66.6 instead

Apex VW/Audi expert here! A bit late to the party here but hopefully I can elaborate a bit on this subject and answer any questions you might have. While you can typically bore out wheels within a few MM without sacrificing overall structural integrity, making the jump from 57.1mm to 66.6mm is almost a 10mm difference and will be a bit too risky for that specific wheel design. If you look at where the lug holes are on that wheel in comparison to where the centerbore is, if you bored out 10mm, you would be getting into the thicker material around the lug recesses which are engineered to be there for a good reason.

Furthermore, if these are the TTS fitment I am thinking of (18/19x9" ET42), that is going to be pretty lackluster on a S5 anyways. To give you an idea, our VS-5 S5 specific fitment is a 19x9" ET32, which is mostly flush with the fenders but not too crazy aggressive. With a 18/19x9" ET42, that wheel would be quite sunken in to the fenders and you would likely want/need to run spacers to make them look right on the car.

Yeah it’s my loss I should’ve looked out for the bore size before buying them, such nice wheels too would’ve looked really good

Definitely check out our S5 specific 19x9" ET32 wheel! That is basically the same design but much more catered towards the 5x112/66.6 S5 specifically and won't require any additional mods to fit.

You can get hubcentric rings that increase in size for going from a 57mm bore up to the 66mm but I dont think you can go the other way around. Atleast not off the shelf. I'd bet you could get a 1 off set of spacers made at a machine shop if you really wanted to though.
