About This Audi S5 Premium Plus 2014 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Audi S5 Premium Plus 2014 sits on a set of 19×9 / 19×9-inch 305-Forged FT107 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose 305-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 S5 Premium Plus builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the exterior with the 305-Forged FT107 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: 305-Forged FT107 on the Audi S5 Premium Plus 2014
I walked around this S5 for twenty minutes yesterday, and the 305-Forged FT107 setup looks absolutely perfect. We are looking at a 19x9 square configuration with a +32 offset all around. This choice keeps the handling predictable while giving the car a much wider, more aggressive stance than the factory wheels.
The +32 offset pushes the face of the wheel right out toward the edge of the fender line. It sits flush without needing those sketchy bolt-on spacers that ruin your steering feel. You get all the visual impact without messing up the scrub radius too much.
Clearance around those big factory front calipers is usually a nightmare on the B8.5 chassis. Thankfully, the FT107 spoke design curves outward enough to clear the pads easily. I checked the gap, and you have plenty of room to spare for cooling airflow.
This car sits on lowering springs, which changes the game entirely for the fitment. The drop closes that annoying factory wheel gap and pulls the top of the tire slightly inward due to the natural camber gain. It creates a sleek, tucked look that makes the car look fast even when it is sitting still.
You need to watch out for the fender liners if you hit a big bump while cornering hard. The front edge of the fender liner is the primary rubbing point on this platform when you drop it this low. I would recommend a quick fender screw mod just to be safe if you live on rough roads.
The hub bore matches the Audi 66.6mm specs, so you do not need any vibration-inducing hub rings. That is a huge win for long-term reliability and high-speed stability. Everything bolts up tight and keeps the ride quality smooth at highway speeds.
The barrel depth on these 19-inch wheels provides a nice balance of weight and strength. They feel substantial without turning the S5 into a boat in the corners. It is the exact setup I would run if this were my personal daily driver.
What We Recommend for Audi S5 Premium Plus 2014 Owners
If you want this look, stick to the 19x9 or 19x9.5 range for the best results. Going wider than 9.5 inches on the front will cause major rubbing issues unless you run a very aggressive tire stretch. Keep your life simple and stay in that sweet spot.
The +32 to +35 offset range is where the magic happens for the B8.5 platform. Anything lower than +30 will poke too far and spray rocks all over your paint. Anything higher than +40 will look weak and tucked deep inside the wheel wells.
I always suggest a square setup like the one on this build. It allows you to rotate your tires properly and keeps the Quattro drivetrain happy. Staggered setups look cool, but they usually create more headaches than they are worth on these cars.
Do not go crazy with tire stretch if you actually drive your car hard. Run a 255/35/19 tire to keep a bit of sidewall protection against potholes. It fills the wheel arch perfectly and provides enough rim coverage to save your finish from curb rash.
Avoid buying cheap cast wheels that weigh a ton. The 305-Forged flow-forming process keeps the unsprung weight low, which helps your suspension work correctly. Cheap, heavy wheels will kill your acceleration and ruin the way your car handles mid-corner bumps.
Style and Build Analysis
The Anthracite finish on these wheels provides a sophisticated, moody contrast against the factory Audi paint. It is not as harsh as a glossy black wheel, and it shows off the intricate details of the FT107 spoke geometry much better. The light hits the metallic flakes in the paint and makes the wheels pop.
These spokes have a clean, technical look that suits the Audi design language perfectly. They look like an evolution of the classic rotor-style wheels but with a modern, concave twist. The design feels purposeful, industrial, and inherently German.
Proportion is everything when you modify a coupe like the S5. The 19-inch diameter strikes the perfect balance between comfort and aesthetics for this body style. Larger wheels often make the brakes look tiny, but these fill the space just right.
I have seen a dozen other S5 builds this year, but most of them get the stance wrong. They either go too low and ruin the geometry or run the wrong offset and look like a minivan. This specific build nails the "factory plus" aesthetic that we always preach at WheelFront.
Road presence is about those subtle details that make people look twice. When you roll up to a meet, people will know this car is dialed in. It commands respect without being loud or obnoxious, which is exactly how an Audi should be.
Why We Love This Build
This Audi S5 is the perfect example of how the right set of wheels transforms a car. The Anthracite finish catches the morning light, highlighting the deep concavity of the FT107 spokes. It looks like it belongs on a mountain pass or parked in front of a high-end office.
We love the way the tires sit flush with the fenders now that the car is lowered. It gives the S5 a planted, hunkered-down posture that screams performance. Every time I walk away from it, I find myself looking back one more time.
You do not need a widebody kit or a gaudy wing to stand out in a crowd. This build proves that clean lines and proper fitment will always win the day. Get your fitment right, and the car will do all the talking.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Audi S5 Premium Plus owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 19×9 / 19×9-inch wheels fit my Audi S5 Premium Plus? 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 S5 Premium Plus owners run 19×9 / 19×9-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
