About This Audi RS5 Base 2013 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Audi RS5 Base 2013 sits on a set of 20×10 / 20×10-inch BC-Forged KLS01 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose BC-Forged for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of Audi RS5 Base builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the exterior with the BC-Forged KLS01 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: BC-Forged KLS01 on the Audi RS5 Base 2013
I walked up to this B8.5 RS5 at the show, and the fitment immediately grabbed me. We are looking at a square 20x10 setup that fills those flared arches perfectly. Running a +28 offset all around keeps the stance aggressive without looking like a track-day disaster.
The BC-Forged KLS01 design offers incredible spoke clearance. I checked the front hubs, and there is plenty of room for those massive Audi ceramic calipers. We love how the spokes push out toward the edge, giving the car a wider footprint.
The 20x10 width is the absolute sweet spot for this chassis. It sits flush with the fender line but avoids that awkward poke that ruins the lines. You get that planted look that Audi designers clearly intended.
Because the car is on stock suspension, the gap is minimal but still present. These 20-inch barrels do a great job of masking that extra vertical space. The hub bore fits the Audi factory specs perfectly, so we avoid those annoying vibration issues.
I looked closely at the inner barrel clearance near the control arms. Everything clears comfortably, even at full lock during tight parking maneuvers. We saw no evidence of rubbing on the fender liners during our test drive.
That 28 offset is the secret sauce here. It pushes the wheel face just enough to give the RS5 that meaty, purposeful posture. Most guys go too far with lower offsets, but this setup stays tight and clean.
The KLS01 design feels airy enough to keep the unsprung weight down. It really changes how the car handles mid-corner compared to the heavy factory rollers. This is a functional upgrade that looks like a million bucks.
What We Recommend for Audi RS5 Base 2013 Owners
If you want to replicate this look, stick to the 20x10 width. Going wider than 10.5 on an RS5 usually leads to fender liner rubbing during heavy compression. We have tested 19s and 20s, and 20s definitely fill the wheel wells better on this specific body style.
For offsets, keep your numbers between +25 and +30. Anything higher than +30 tucks the wheel too deep into the arch. Anything lower than +25 will have you rolling fenders or dealing with constant tire rub.
We always suggest a square setup for these cars. It makes tire rotations easy and keeps the Quattro system happy during spirited driving. Staggered setups look cool, but they often mess with the sensitive Audi drivetrain sensors.
Do not cheap out on tires if you go with forged wheels. Pair your new KLS01s with a high-performance summer tire like a Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. A slight stretch can look good, but we prefer a square shoulder for real-world grip.
Avoid using wheel spacers if you can help it. Buying the correct offset from a builder like BC-Forged is always the smarter move. Spacers introduce extra points of failure that you do not want at high speeds.
Style and Build Analysis
The Bronze finish on this RS5 is nothing short of a masterpiece. It provides a stunning contrast against the factory paint, especially when the sun hits the metallic flakes. Bronze is the perfect middle ground between subtle gunmetal and flashy polished chrome.
The KLS01 spoke geometry is sharp and technical. It mimics the aggressive design language of the Audi front fascia perfectly. We think the multi-spoke layout draws your eye directly to the center of the wheel.
When you look at the car from a side profile, the proportions seem locked in. The wheels do not look too big or too small for the heavy RS5 body. It manages to look both elegant and mean at the same time.
We have seen plenty of RS5 builds, but this one feels cohesive. Many owners choose wheels that look out of place, but these look like they could have come from the factory. The build feels intentional rather than just a parts-bin assembly.
This car commands attention without being loud or obnoxious. That is the hallmark of a high-end build. The finish quality of the BC-Forged metalwork really elevates the whole aesthetic of the machine.
Why We Love This Build
I still cannot stop thinking about this car. The way the bronze finish catches the sunset light while the car is parked is pure magic. Those KLS01 wheels fill the arches so completely that it makes the stock ride height look purposeful and ready for the road. It is a rare build where every single choice feels like it was made by someone who truly understands the spirit of the RS5. We love how it stays true to the factory design while adding that custom edge that makes enthusiasts look twice. This is exactly how you modify an Audi without losing the class. Put this on your car and never look back.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Audi RS5 Base owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 20×10 / 20×10-inch wheels fit my Audi RS5 Base? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of Audi RS5 Base owners run 20×10 / 20×10-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
