The Official B9 Q5/SQ5 Wheel Thread - Post your setup!

[Anthony]

OK, so I don't have a setup of my own to share…yet.

But, I've been reading through the various wheel and build threads to gather data. Other forum section have such threads and I felt this forum could benefit from one as well.

So, if you have an aftermarket wheel setup, post your info!

- Year and model (EX: 2014 Q5 V6T)
- Wheel brand and model (EX: Avant Garde M590)
- Wheel specs (EX: 21"x9" ET35)
- Tire specs (EX: 255/40/21)
- Spacer info if you have them (5mm spacers front and rear)

And of course a photo or two, because everyone loves to look at pics.

BEGIN!

Just for completeness, this is the 2014 SQ5 standard 20" wheel; there is also an optional 21" factory wheel, which I did not get due to there being so few tires available in the 21" size. This 20" wheel is the same design and diameter as the wheels on a buddy's '09 S8; not sure about the width and offset comparison.

[OSCORP]

Hello everyone! New Member here.
There's so many great setups here that influence my decision for my new Q5, wanted to ask what do you guys think about this wheel tire combo.
I'm trying to get a flush fit, the thing is that am not going to lower the car I really need the height. The car is currently been painted underneath for corrosion, ill post pictures when its done.
The person helping me, from TagM tells me it will be flush. Appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks.

Anyone have pics of the matte black rotor arms in 19" on a stock height Q5 in black? I'm considering swapping out the wheels for those in black but just keeping the rest of the setup the same. I'm kind of thinking now that would look stupid and would have to get at least 20"s if I was going to do those. So torn.

Your car looks amazing. A couple of questions on the wheels.. Would that offset stick out past the fenders without the flares?

Also which body shop did you have your aftermarket bumper/pieces painted? I hear glacier white is pretty difficult to get matched. It looks good in the pictures, but how does it match the original paint in person?

a&L auto body is who I would highly recommend. Tell Anthony, Ryan with the white q5 sent yah. They also work on a lot of high end exotics. They will match that color with no issues. The 28 et all around will get you a flushed look wit out the fender flares. Thanks for the compliments.

I dig em, hows the ride with 22's?

I went from the SQ5 20s to these 22s and really the ride isn't noticeably different to me. The ride from 19/20 in my previous Genesis Coupe was more noticeable in my opinion but even then it wasn't a big deal. perhaps part of the reason was the choice in new tires which I love (Hankook).

Thanks for the positive thoughts!

[SQive]

Excellent pics of how the 265's fit beautifully on the stock 21"s.
Thank you! [up]
I know they say a 275 won't fit, but what is your take on the subject?
Do you think those wheels can manage 10 more mm?

[Breeze91]

Depends if you get a tyre with a stiff sidewall. The 265s do squirm a bit more at lower pressure but I run them in the low 40s and they are fine. The 265s are very square edged still so a 275 wouldn't look too bad. Remember all Tyres are not alike and some might be bigger than others. Are you thinking a 35% profile? That may help with squirm and there appear to be the same options available.

[SQive]

If I had the size I wanted, they would be 285/40R20's on 10" wheels.
I really like the stock wheels, and I think the 275's would fit, but apparently, only Dunlop makes that size.
Guess I'll stick with the 265's. I'm looking at the Continental CrossContact UHP's.
They have a 420 tread-wear rating, and they are currently $391, each.

[Breeze91]

My colleague has them on his ML500. Certainly much better wearing than the Pirrellis. They seem to ride well, I don't know about outright grip, probably pretty good unless you are at 10/10ths.

Hello,

I love what you've done with your car, the black (vinyl?) on the back and sides is a unique touch. Can you share what size spacers you used to get the more flush fit with the stock wheels?

Thanks!

[Breeze91]

Cheers Shizu - 12mm front and 20mm rear. Make sure you get the ball head bolts ( longer to suit). Lowered on KW adjustable springs. Tyres are slightly wider at 265 instead of the stock 255.

Bad thread to say it but I think the stock 21s are some of the best looking wheels on the SQ5 just don't understand why they are set inward so much. The RS6 wheels would just about be perfect with the extra width and offset but pretty pricey.

The black is plastidip. Prep with wax remover, mask up, spray on and if you don't like it you can peel it off like a vinyl sheet. I did the side stripes to protect from rock strikes and then kind of liked it. The back I did because a number of other white audis have it (S1, R8 etc) I think it looks better in real life than in pics.

Cheers

[shizumaat]

Excellent, thanks for the details, that saves me a trip to the shop and guessing on the spacers. Apparently the KW kit is quite popular, they can't make them fast enough, mine are on order but be a couple weeks before they come in. How much did you end up lowering yours? Looks like about 50mm?

I keep going back and forth on the wheels. I like the stock wheels but the car looks so much better (and handles better too of course) with wider rims. I'm considering 22x10.5, I've seen a number SQ5's with them and it's nice. Definitely another investment though.

How many inches did you drop the front and also the rear? Have you tried to go lower?

[Breeze91]

On the KW adjustables the front will go down another 15mm or so with the diesel motor. You can also drop the rears by removing the adjuster or spacer (can't remover which). I drive mine pretty quickly at the settings as they are with no rubbing or knocking or uneven tyre wear.

Would 12.5 mm spacers work in the front? That's all ecs has

[Breeze91]

Sorry, they are 12.5 on the front! You could probably go a little bit more, up to 15.

Did u not buy the spacers with the bolt kit? How long were the bolts that would be needed If you bought them separately. How do u think 15 mm spacers would affect the wheels? Thanks in advance

im running 20 mm (front) and 12.5 mm (rear) spacers on my square set up 20x10 5x112. No issues so far but having my wheel bearings checked out just as a safety precautionary to see how they're holding up with this set up and it's been close to about a year.

Just a heads up to everyone that I was just informed by my dealer that my 2015 SQ5 does not have Tire Pressure Monitor Systems since most new Audi's monitor tire pressure via a wheel rotation system only. No need to order any TPMS if purchasing new wheels.

I have been meaning to post these here for a long time but keep forgetting.. Custom 22" Avant Garde Wheels I had on my Q5. (Now off the car for sale [;)])

22x10 ET30 Front - Shallow Concave
22x10 ET23 Rear - Deep Concave

265/35zr22 Pirelli Scorpion Zero Tires all around. Staggered fitment without needing to run different size tires.

Car was on H&R Coilovers in the pictures.

I really loved the set but now that the car has air suspension I want to get something a bit wider. They looked perfect on the car with coilovers.

P.S. - They will fit an SQ5 as well. We made sure to leave enough room for BBK up front.

Looks like you threw on -3 H&R springs. The Euro suspension with our tfsi leaves a huge gap in the front wheel well. Would have been better off with -1 H&R springs or HAS.

This is part of the reason why another member with the Euro suspension retrofit got rid of it. Just looks goofy.

[SQive]

Yeah...the front's a bit high.

[03RSTT]

Dang it...you guys ^^ beat me to it!

If you want reverse rake on any non-TDI Q5 or SQ5....just put eurospec SQ5 springs on it.

Notes: Wheels are a direct fit, no spacers. Clearances inside are perfect. Tires are a very close match to stock height (28.9 vs OE 29.0). Tires carry the same 300 UTQG as OE but FAR outperform them in handling, rain, stopping, and more. There are several amazing performance tire choices in the 285/35/30 size, including the Scorpion Ice and Snow for winter.

Check out willtheyfit.com for a great fitment tool to see how these compare to stock. The stick out about 20mm more. Stock is 33mm offset on 21x8.5, these are 25mm offset on 21x9.5 for reference. Rear fitment is PERFECT IMO. Fronts poke out a tiny bit but that's the deal if you want a square, rotatable setup.

KW's are on hand so spare me the silly gap comments lol!!! BTW - anyone got a good link to spring removal and install for the SQ5? I've done it on my CTS-V but that's a whole different beast...

We had an odd hailstorm come thru Houston this afternoon - so I don't have any wider angle shots. I'll get some tomorrow of the full car.

Someone has done it! I was considering this but calculated that the front wheels would poke by about 5mm and the rear would be flush. Will be interested to see it on the HAS as the wheels do tuck in a bit when lowered.

They look great btw. Look forward to the wide angle pics.

Right...I'm hopeful that the lowering will help a tad. This was a hell of an ordeal but worth it. Had to buy the wheels and ship from overseas. US Audi dealers cannot order Euro parts or I might have bought new. I got a set of takeoffs and had to restore them.

Paint is unique so had to order that, then my local wheel shop painted then and did great....or so I thought. Overspray all over the barrel and I had to clean that carefully by hand (2 hrs) then polish the face by hand for 2 hours to get the finish up to OE smoothness, which is a Class A surface on these RS wheels.

Did a short test drive and the handling is night and day. Turn in is almost too sharp with the overboosted/soft steering feel of these cars. But it's very predictable so I think the wife will like it (her car....she likes silver wheels).

And your calcs are right - a tiny bit front poke. 5mm seems about correct. If you are anal about that stuff it might be an issue but the wife loves it. The wider front track further contributes to the improved handling. Lowering with drop the CG more and make it sharper still.

I will also say that the Pilot Super Sports are an incredibly wide tire. I different tire may improve the look of the front. There are excellent selections available in the 285/35/21 size btw.

I have the stock 21s with spacers and the 4k (AUSD) from Germany is a bit too much mark up for a very similar style wheel as the stock one but a comfortable 285 would be cool. I have a white one on the kW has. Can't wait to see your new stance. The HAS are very, very good.

Thanks. These are similar, true. The wider tire was a plus as is the subtle design change. Springs go on Friday. Will post up then. I paid less as these were take-offs with some cosmetic damage. I did the restoration locally and they are perfect now. 4k is steep!

TriTexan very nice work! That is gorgeous!
Thanks guys! I measured a 3.28 inch drop which is a lot. I think I'll take a tiny bit out of the front to correct the significant camber you see. Right now the front is well over 1 inch lower than the rear. Stock is almost dead level.

I'm probably going to set it where the upper fender gap is just a little smaller than the rest of the gap around the rest of the wheel. Right now the rear is very close but the front has zero fender gap up top. None at all. It needs about 15 to 20mm more lift and about 5mm rear.

For those checking out the KW HAS setup its very well done and worth the costs imo.

[kj71109]

TriTexan could you post where you got those Rs6 wheels and the price? I wanted to keep the OEM 21" wheel, but it just wasn't wide enough for my liking. This RS6 wheel you got seems to be just perfect. If you don't want to post here, could you PM me the details? Thanks!

I don't mind sharing at all! Minor soap box - I personally think we miss out on a lot of progress as a society because we are SO into privacy. People don't want to be watched or tracked. And I get that. But as long as it is not misused and not personal, that kind of information is what gets us better products, services, and more. Sharing information - even semi personal financial information, is a good thing. Take cars - if everyone would share what they paid for a car, we as customers would know exactly what was a fair price. Websites like TruCar exist and make money entirely from gathering up this information and giving us a chart of what others paid so we can get the best deal. If you didn't have that information you could get a totally raw deal on your car purchase. The more we are willing to share, the more benefit we all get. Yes, some stuff is personal and yes, bad people can mis-use our information. But the way to deal with issues like identity theft is to round up and punish the thieves. Trying to hide all your information does protect you a very tiny bit, but it makes everything else that the "good guys" are trying to do more difficult. The "good guys" are everyone from companies you do business with and stores you shop at to government agencies to family and friends. Just look how powerful sharing makes sites like Facebook and LinkedIn. If you don't offer up some amount of personal information, all those connections, old classmates, and all that stuff don't work very well.

OK...sorry for the derailment! If you follow me on other forums you'll quickly learn I am VERBOSE. Love it or hate it that's OK by me. It's who I am and unlikely to change. ;) But I hope my posts provide both insight and value as well as just being good conversation.

Now to business - I got these off eBay. There's a guy selling take-offs in various conditions from brand new to slightly curbed. His username is "alpenfelgenhandel" and I think his name is Sahin. The prices vary based on condition and such. I know I paid a premium at around $3000 but that got me a complete set of high quality OEM wheels that were a PERFECT fit and precisely the color my wife loves. I've seen him sell these for 2500 up to 3500. He sells quite a few Audi wheels and has great feedback. He shipped for free from Germany.

Regarding my specific transaction a few notes.

First - there is apparently some kind of issue between eBay Germany and eBay USA with regard to the item pictures. When I bought these I - for better or worse but in hindsight worse - did not happen to see his other listings. When I did so later on I noticed the exact same picture was on every listing. Personally I think you should post pictures of the ACTUAL ITEM you are selling since it's a used item. He will send you highly detailed pictures of the set or sets you are interested in, but only if you know to ask. In my eBay feedback I suggested that since he knows about this issue he should disclose it in the ad text and tell buyers they need to ask for actual pics as the one in the listing is just a stock photo of one wheel he took in his driveway. Since the description said tiny nicks and scratches in only a few spots, and since I have a really awesome wheel repair and refinishing shop close by that I planned to use to restore these as needed, I was not as worried about the exact, precise location and size of every tiny chip and nick in the finish. I know some guys and gals are 400% anal retentive about their wheels being utter perfection so you need to keep that in mind if you are one of them. Buy one of his "perfect OEM" sets if that's a deal breaker and be prepared to pay accordingly.

Second, I had some shipping angst. Sahin doesn't speak English very well and although he sent tracking numbers for DHL, I was never able to pull up a valid shipment on DHL.com. He assured me via private messages that all was well but he could never explain to me how to track my expensive shipment. If it weren't for ebay and PayPal providing some safety if my transaction went awry I would NOT have been happy with this aspect. I was not in a hurry for these and I shipped them to my office since there is always someone there to sign for things and they keep all of our packages locked up and secure. But I had no idea where it was along the way or when to expect it. The wheels did arrive a few days later than the latest promised shipping date but the seller also notified me that he was late in getting them shipped.

Overall however, the wheels were as I expected and they were straight and perfectly true. The finish was in perfect shape - pristine and glossy except for some tiny nicks and scratches as described. One wheel was absolutely perfect - zero touch up needed. Another was nearly so and I might have gotten away with some compounding and aggressive polishing. The other two had tiny spots that most people would be happy just using touch up paint on.

When I mounted tires, one wheel and tire balanced perfectly without weights. Another required only one .25 Oz weight on the inside and none on the outside (the area behind the wheel face where you are likely to see them more) . The remaining two also needed only very small amounts of weight. It's a testament to the tight tolerances. On the spin balancer I could see these wheels were perfectly straight and true as well.

The seller did a good job with packaging too. The boxes were heavy duty and sealed well and had multiple layers of extra protection and closed cell foam to keep things nice and safe even with overseas shipping, the charges for which the seller covered.

I also bought these as one of a number of different gifts (not all car stuff FWIW!) for my wife's as our 20th wedding anniversary. So the cost wasn't as big of an issue in this particular compared to getting something really special. Since I had some idea that few or no people had done this yet I thought it would be something distinctive for her.

Overall these were an excellent purchase for me and my specific needs and situation. Your needs, budget, goals, etc may be different.

If you DO end up buying wheels from this guy you should be happy. And would you also tell him that eBay user "txtriguy" sent you to him? My review of my purchase experience was honest, candid, and truthful but he got his feelings hurt because I said I couldn't track my purchase and because the picture wasn't of the actual item. But I told him the product was great and I would do business with him again no problem. He also seems to be THE go-to guy for good quality OEM take-off wheels.

I even went to my Audi dealer to try to order a set. They said NO WAY. Audi won't even sell you the wheels here in the USA because it is a Europe only part #. WTH? So that left me no option but to look for other sources. I could have gone custom with some HRE's or Forgelines or another top flight wheel builder. But in this case the wife and I really like the 21's that came on the car but just wanted to turn it up a notch. Being a female the style of these are a bit softer than the harder, more straight lines of the factory setup but they still blend well with the overall

Anyway - I hope that gives everyone a good feel for the path I took and what factors and choices came into play.

Now I'm heading out to run a few errands so we can get packed up...another gift I got her was a week long luxury cruise around the Caribbean. We leave TOMORROW - woo hoo!!

Post up if you have ANY questions at all, I'll do my best to answer them.

Wow, amazing response!!! Thank you very much!!! I greatly appreciate you taking the time to share that information with us, as I'm sure most others will as wel. [az]

[Yoshimura]

Looks like you threw on -3 H&R springs. The Euro suspension with our tfsi leaves a huge gap in the front wheel well. Would have been better off with -1 H&R springs or HAS.

This is part of the reason why another member with the Euro suspension retrofit got rid of it. Just looks goofy.
People don't use the correct springs. I did and mine is perfectly level. 1-1/8" drop at each corners.

Hey TriTexan

Ironically I to am about to run the same setup as you! I to ordered from the same eBay supplier and have received 3 of the 4 - 21" rims. I've sent an email to Sashi trying to get the last tracking number so I can find out where it is? I'm mixed on the shipping as he sent them DHL who in turn got them to Canada Post on my end. That said I feel there was a saving on my part in Duty and Customs as I've only spent an additional $53. In taxes thus far? If the rims would have been sent Fedex or UPS the duty and brokerage fees would probably have been astronomical I'm sure!

Given I'm running the same rims (different Colour) and KW HAS suspension setup what height do you have the front and back running at or maybe I should ask what do you think the perfect height setup will be when you nail it down?

I think your ride looks great and no disrespect to others I think your stance is spot on! Nice job!

Good questions. I'll start by saying that I ended up leveling the stance a bit. Distance from ground to highest point on the fender arch is about 1cm lower on the front than the back. I landed on making the tire/fender gap a little smaller at the top of the wheel, but where there's still plenty of room for suspension movement. It still ended up being a huge drop...2.5 inches or more. I'm not sure what the standard way would be to communicate drop or where exactly I have the HAS setup at....post up your best ways and I'll go give it a measure for you.

Ultimately with our SQ5 it needed to clear basic driving obstacles like hump and bumps . I wanted the wife to be able to use the car without special attention to much so we are setting g enough clearance for that while getting it lowered to avoid it being reclassified as a monster truck!! Overall I have my spring seats adjusted 1/3rd to halfway up.

So to answer your question (finally!) I would put the car nearly level (it's level from the factory) but add just a tiny bit of rake. Seriously...no more than 1cm lower up front and that's IT.

Then I'd deal with optimizing the fender gap. For fender gap - let's say the siz3 of the gap towards the front and back of the tire are 1.5 inches. I'd lower the car such that the upper fender gap is less. I'd do 1.2 inches to start. Personally I think a slammed Audi is cool, but not what I wanna be driving all the time. I slight lowering works well.

You should also.note my wheels have about 20mm more poke to them than stock. This comes from the stock wheels being 8.5 instead of 9.5 wide.

I also ordered the adjustable upper control arms to deal with the camber being so far off...

Looks fantastic! I just put my wife's SQ5 on 21x9.5 Audi RS6 wheels. It doesn't look like you can squeeze a 10.5 wide on there, but you guys are doing it. I guess to make it work you have to do different front and rear offsets though, so no front to rear tire rotations.

She also has the MPSS tires. Much better response for sure. She's lowered on KW height adjustables. I'm not thrilled with the ride with the tires firmer, but with lower pressures the car is sloppy. What I really want is a full height spring that gets the car lowered to the right height. The KW HAS setup loses quite a bit of potential spring travel and that definitely shows up as lost ride quality...

[SQive]

275/45/20 will be way too tall to clear the upper control arm. You should consider 285-295/40/20.
The 285/40/20 is the same height as a 255/40/21, and the 295/40/20 is the same height as a 265/40/21.
There's a guy on here that has 295's on a blue SQ5 and it looks great.
Either of these two will leave your speedo/odo correct, but it's hard to be exact on the off-set...spacers are cheap.

Are they not telling you the offset?

[SQive]

Ok, thanks!. I will go for 285/40/20 then, Any concerns about the offset?, is 9 mm closer to suspension fine you think?

According to that configurator, at 23mm off-set, you will only be 5mm closer. That should be fine. If not, just move your 15mm spacers to the front and get some more...maybe 20mm for the rear.

[snig]

I love these wheels! What offset would I need to have them flush without flares? I do not believe I will be lowering the SQ5 because the wife already has issues with the other mods on the way lol.

Let me know your thoughts?

Lowering is a must. Otherwise wider wheels will appear Mexi-flush, even though they aren't.

[1FASTSQ5]

Lowering is a must. Otherwise wider wheels will appear Mexi-flush, even though they aren't. LOL I do agree with the lowering aspect but I do not want to lower it too much. I still want to be able to hit speed bumps and not have to slow down for things. I have other cars for that, I bought this so I do not have to worry about any of that.

My BMW X5M I replaced with this had no problem sitting higher with a nice stance. The wheels were 21inch and I had 315's in the back and 285 tires up front. Why do you say it will look Mexi-flush with wider wheels and tires? I feel if it sits inside the wheel well it will look nice?

I have the same wheel tire size on my wife's F15 X5 with the Msport package. Completely different with the X5s. Let me demonstrate.

I get that part but those tires and wheels are not very wide. I am looking to go 9.5 - 10.5 inch wheel and still stay inside the fenders like on the X5.

[AA-SQ5]

The ride is at least als comfortable as stock, if not more. The KW has been installed as delivered, but I'm thinking of changing the setting a bit stiffer. The difference between stock 20" and the 22" is a lot bigger.

Not a fan of the bagged request wheels at all but they seem to be becoming a trend. Great demo of poke with your pics snig. My 21" RS6 rims like Tritexan's stick out a tad too much for me on the rear at standard euro height so may have to lower a little. Swore to my wife I wouldn't touch wheels or lower my SQ5 [headbang]

I had a set of these on order from AG but they couldn't get the paint done right and i ended up canceling them. Mine were going to be 10.5 wide and +25.

I have a different set of 20" wheels on the way in 10.5 wide +27 and I plan on slapping 10mm spacers all around when I put them on to get them out a bit more. Being bagged really brings the wheels in when you go low.

I tested my current Vossens with 10mm spacers and they looked awesome. These are 22"x10.5" et30. No rub but a little poke in the rear but it looks really good.

So it sounds like 21"or22"x10.5" with et30 in the front and et35 in the rear would be about perfect? I'd really like to go 10.5" without the flares. What size tires are you running? I'd like do something like 285/35.

[nivlek]

Looks like everyone here goes for 21" or 22" ... does it affect ride quality? Any recommendation on wheel/tire size for a 20" wide meaty setup?

going from 20 to 21" is a bit more bumpy (especially on shitty NY roads) but 21" wheels look just perfect [emoji106]

Great Googly moogly Ian! Just wow... [drool]

[4rings5]

Quick question - has anybody put RS5 20" rotors on a Q5/SQ5? I just picked up a 2016 SQ5 and have a set of these 20xp ET26 rotors available. Size wise I think I'm good with this offset. How about tires? I'd like to try and run 265/45r20 tires but I'm not sure if I'd have fitment issues with height of this tire/wheel combo. Also, planning to lower with KW HAS so I'm not sure if that would cause a problem with fitment either?

[SQive]

Whoa Bessie...that's going to be too tall. You'll have issues with the upper steering knuckle.
You really can't get bigger that 29.3", and that's with 12mm spacers at that.
In 20"s, you could go with the 255/45, or you could go with 275/40.
285/40R20 would be the perfect size, but probably too wide for 9" wheels.

[4rings5]

Going from a 8.5" wheel with ET33 to 9" ET26 wheel doesn't really change the inner clearance. I did a quick check on tire size and it looks like a 265/45 comes in at 29.39. You think that extra .09" would cause an issue?

Has anybody run a similar set-up in terms of wheel size/offset and 265/45 tires?

Any help would be appreciated.

[SQive]

I compared your sizing with my actual size, including the adjusted offset with my spacers.
Your size may fit, given dimensional variances between tire manufacturers and models, but it will be very close.
It's so close, that you could use some small (5mm) spacers if they do rub.

[4rings5]

Thanks for the information. Do you think the rub would occur based on inner clearance because of the wheel width/offset or based on total height of the wheel/tire?

[SQive]

Thanks for the information. Do you think the rub would occur based on inner clearance because of the wheel width/offset or based on total height of the wheel/tire?

Both, really. The corner of the tire and the front, upper steering knuckle are where the rub would occur.
This picture is of 265/40ZR21. If I didn't have 12.5mm spacers on the front, I believe they would rub, although just barely.
http://www.audizine.com/gallery/data/500/medium/knuckle.JPG
We have also discussed taking a small grinder, like a Dremmel, to that flash that sticks down. That's how close they are.

[4rings5]

Wow - great picture! According to the information I can find on the interwebs there is only a .09" difference from 255/45/20 to 265/45/20. I'm sure this depends on the tire manufacturer quite a bit. I'm planning on going with Pirelli Scorpion Verde Plus All Seasons.

With this picture I'm not so sure about the 265/45 option. I appreciate the info and pic SQive.

You can still go with the 265/45's, so long as you realize how close they may be (depending on actual tire size), and your willingness to grind away that flash or use spacers.

Last week we were really excited to get our hands on another Q5, especially knowing what was to come with the suspension and wheel setup. Starting with suspension we installed SPC Control Arms. After that came the KW Height Adjustable Springs. The suspension system went in without a hitch. You can see the KW suspension system below.

My new rims are on the way from Fifteen52-thank you Matt!!! New rim specs are 21x10.5 & I forget what et's Matt told me they will be lol. Also I'm going to be installing my new KW Suspension DDC Coilovers. My question to you guys is "What size tire setup should I be going with?" I was thinking 275/35r21,275/40r21,285/35r21,285/40r21,295/35r21. Your thoughts please?
I'm not running those charactere fender flares and don't plan on buying them as well.

[SQive]

You've already seen my setup, so you know what I'm going to suggest.
The 295/35 (we've already established the 21" part) matches the stock diameter and will fit inside the wheel well without flares.
Neither the 285/40's or 275/40's will even fit, so you can forget those. The fronts will rub those steering knuckles you see at the top of the tires.
Things pertinent to you decision are:
*What is the offset? My 295/35's fit perfectly, but they are on 10" wheels and are very close at et30.
*Will you be lowered to the point of tucking the tires? If so, you will have to go with a stretched setup of 275 or less.
You can get away with more using the stretched setup, but that's a matter of taste (not mine) and your curb-balls.
My best guess is that your offset can be no more than et25, and you could fine tune them with small spacers if necessary.
Unless you're exactly duplicating someone else's setup, there's no precise answer. There are always variances between tire manufacturers and even rim-lip thicknesses.
I recommend the 295/35's, but you really need to know the offset of those wheels.

[S-Fore]

I have 21X10 et28 and I went with 285/35 Pilot SS and have zero issues and a pretty flush fit. That said, if I were to do it again I'd go 295/35. Leaves a nice little bit of meat as protection from curbs...

[IC3MAN SQ5]

You've already seen my setup, so you know what I'm going to suggest.
The 295/35 (we've already established the 21" part) matches the stock diameter and will fit inside the wheel well without flares.
Neither the 285/40's or 275/40's will even fit, so you can forget those. The fronts will rub those steering knuckles you see at the top on the tires.
Things pertinent to you decision are:
*What is the offset? My 295/35's fit perfectly, but they are on 10" wheels and are very close at et30.
*Will you be lowered to the point of tucking the tires? If so, you will have to go with a stretched setup of 275 or less.
You can get away with more using the stretched setup, but that's a matter of taste (not mine) and you curb-balls.

My new specs are 3pc Forged Integrale SC: 21x10.5 5x112 ET32 66.5cb (front),
21x10.5 5x112 ET27 66.5cb (rear). My SQ5 will be lowered on KW DDC coils but will not be sitting on tire this is my family car and I just need to close up the wheel gap. And I'd like a meaty look since my car will be running APR Stage 3kit and have 034 upper control arms but nut installing fender flares.

[arrrrrs4]

My new rims are on the way from Fifteen52-thank you Matt!!! New rim specs are 21x10.5 & I forget what et's Matt told me they will be lol. Also I'm going to be installing my new KW Suspension DDC Coilovers. My question to you guys is "What size tire setup should I be going with?" I was thinking 275/35r21,275/40r21,285/35r21,285/40r21,295/35r21. Your thoughts please?
I'm not running those charactere fender flares and don't plan on buying them as well.

I would go with the 285/35 only because of the availability of the Michelin PSS in that size. It is widely regarded across all makes and models as one of the best tires available.

A set of the KW HAS to lower this car is perfect. Rides very well, and looks great! AWE for the exhaust as well! Let me know if you are interested and I can get you some very competitive quotes. The car is looking good!

It's part boredom, part the fact everyone and their brother is putting air on SQ5s, and part that I want to realize my dream of owning a pre '73 911.

Didn't you mention that you had a set of 20" Volks? I could be mistaken though.

[McTaste]

God damn that looks good on 22s

Im not a fan of third party logos on my car tho. Would prefer oem or no logos at all.

Yea I had some 20" TE Ultras (<------ avatar pic) but ended up selling them. Made me not happy at all. Wish they would build me some 21's.

I was a bit nervous, but I knew I had to do 9.5/265 to hopefully get the look and meat. I'm pleased!

Well Supreme was a huge help with the build and parts (and I work for them part-time :P) and AWE, Brembo, BLK, KW etc were superrrrr generous with the sponsorships. It's the least I could do. But I understand for sure [up]

Don't happen to have any pics of them on the SQ5 would you? I've been contemplating that setup on ours. For some reason I've grown to like the 20" wheels on the SQ5. Done the big wheel look before and I just want something different this time around.

I do not. They were sold before the SQ came in. I wanted to run them bad, but was a bit nervous. And I had a buyer local that was ready. Here they are...

Ultra 10" et25 face three. I think there are a couple of sets in the U.S. I'd be happy to source them [up]

I went ahead and checked earlier. There is one set those Diamond black M-Spec in stock. I'll make you a very nice deal. PM coming.

Slapped on some freshly powder coated RS5 wheels on the SQ5. Tires are Contiextreme Contact DWS06 in 255/45r20. I might try 265s next time to get a little more meat and eat up a tad of the wheel arch gap. Also have trunk full of bits that are going today to get her a little lower to the ground. Thanks to Yoshimura for the insights and Osideaudi for the excellent build thread.
