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 at the show, and the 19x9 FT107 setup hits the sweet spot for the B8.5 chassis. Running a 30mm offset keeps the wheel flush with the fender line without looking like a skateboard. It transforms the way this German coupe sits on the street.
The 305-Forged engineers nailed the barrel design to clear those factory Audi calipers easily. You do not need annoying spacers to get the spokes away from the brake housing. It is a true bolt-on affair that keeps your hub geometry exactly where Audi intended.
We see a lot of guys struggle with hub bore issues on these platforms, but these are machined perfectly for the 66.6mm hub. The wheel centers itself immediately and eliminates any vibration at highway speeds. You get that solid, factory-engineered feeling despite the aftermarket upgrade.
The lowering springs on this car are the real hero for the final look. They close that massive wheel gap that plagues stock S5s and push the top of the tire right up to the fender liner. The stance looks aggressive but remains fully functional for daily driving.
Watch out for rubbing if you decide to push the tire width too far past the recommended range. We noticed the rear liner gets a little tight on big dips when you load the trunk up. A slight roll on the inner lip is a smart move if you want to run a wider rubber compound.
I love how the 19-inch diameter maintains a balanced ratio of tire sidewall to rim face. You keep enough rubber to protect the wheel from potholes while maximizing the visual impact of the FT107 design. It is the perfect middle ground for a performance-oriented daily driver.
What We Recommend for Audi S5 Premium Plus 2014 Owners
If you want to run the FT107, stick to the 19x9 square setup we featured here. It allows you to rotate your tires, which saves you serious cash over the long run. Staggered setups on Quattro systems can get finicky if you do not calculate the rolling diameter perfectly.
Offset is everything on the B8.5 platform, and 30mm is the magic number for a flush look. Anything higher than 35mm will sink the wheel into the fender and ruin the profile. Anything lower than 25mm risks poking the tires out and kicking rocks onto your paint.
Do not cheap out on your tire choice because that is the only part connecting this beast to the asphalt. We suggest a high-performance summer tire with a slightly rounded sidewall to prevent harsh rubbing under hard cornering. It keeps the car looking sharp and feeling planted.
Many owners make the mistake of going straight to 20-inch wheels, which usually ruins the ride quality. Stick to 19s if you want to preserve your suspension bushings and keep the ride compliant. You get all the style points without sacrificing the ability to drive over a speed bump.
If you find the fitment is just a hair too conservative for your taste, a 3mm spacer is all you need. Do not go crazy with massive spacers, as they put unnecessary strain on your wheel bearings. Keep it simple and let the wheel design do the talking.
Style and Build Analysis
The Gunmetal finish on these FT107s is a masterclass in subtlety. It picks up the metallic flakes in the Audi paint and creates a cohesive look that is not too flashy. It looks professional when parked at the office but mean enough for a midnight cruise.
I am a huge fan of the multi-spoke design because it gives the car a lighter, more athletic appearance. The spokes extend all the way to the edge of the barrel, making the wheel look larger than it actually is. It draws your eye directly to the center of the wheel.
This car sits with a purposeful, hunkered-down energy that makes the stock S5 look like an SUV. The way the light dances off the Gunmetal paint really highlights the deep spokes and the intricate geometry. You can stare at these wheels for ten minutes and still find new details.
Compared to other builds we have featured, this one shows restraint. Many people over-modify their Audis with gaudy wings or massive lips, but this build focuses on clean lines. It proves that a great set of wheels and a solid drop are all you need.
The road presence is undeniable when this car rolls through an intersection. It commands respect without screaming for attention, which is exactly how a German luxury coupe should feel. It is a refined look that ages incredibly well.
Why We Love This Build
This S5 is the perfect example of how the right wheels can completely overhaul a car's character. The Gunmetal FT107s fill the arches with surgical precision, making the whole machine look like it is ready to hunt down a mountain road. When the sun hits the metal, the depth of the finish pops against the body lines in a way that stock wheels never could.
We stood there for twenty minutes just admiring how the stance flows into the tire profile. It is aggressive, it is clean, and it feels like a factory-plus upgrade that should have come from the dealership floor. This build stops us in our tracks every single time we see it.
Do yourself a favor and get this setup on your own car immediately.

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.
