You need those bolts: H&R 14mm diameter lug bolts for Audi Q5 and SQ5 wheels (sold in sets of 10 lugs)

Kit Includes:
12.5mm Wheel Spacers - Two
14x1.5x40mm Ball Seat Wheel Bolts - Ten

That is R14, isn't it ?

No, most Audi model uses R13 ball seat but Q5 and Q7 uses R14 ball seat. R13 and R14 is the radius of the ball seat. The ECS kits include R13 ball seat bolts.

I have had no issues with my spacers or bolts that I bought from ECS Tuning. As I originally mentioned, I bought them as a kit (2 spacers and 10 lug nuts per kit). The only recommendation I received once they were installed was to come back after 500 miles to have them re-torqued. The car handles nicely, I am totally satisfied with the look as well.
