Collectively picking all of your brains here: I have a 2016 post-facelift S6 with stock tires and wheels and I am running 10mm H&R spacers all around. I really like the way that the wheel/tire face is flush with the wheel well, but I want a beefier and a more aggressive look.. So,I have to go with a wider wheel. I found a set of R8 wheels that I really like which are 20 x 9 and will fit my vehicle and bolt pattern. So, my question is: on a late model S6 like mine, has anyone used a 275/30-20 tires? Will that tire cause any rubbing or clearance issues? Also, for all-around performance what tires do you prefer? Hankook, Pirelli, Michelin, Continental?

Please let me know.

Thanks in advance

I think you'd be fine with 275/30 tires on 9 or 9.5" wheels, but probably nothing wider. You'd probably need an offset of et30 or lower..

I live by Michelin PSS tires.. nothing better in my experience. A bit pricer but worth every penny

Thanks! Sounds like you are speaking from experience there Yeoman. Any pics of your setup?

I second the Michelin PSS...or get the newer 4S. You can't go wrong with Michelin. Worth every penny!
