OEM rs5 wheels on 16 S6, tire size besides a 255..?

[Sfbimmerman]

I’ve read most of the threads on here about the rs5 wheels on a c7/7.5 s6, just wanna ask a few questions..? Seeing a lot of different combos, I kind of want to step up to a 265/35 tire when I put these wheels on…my suspension is stock other than sway bars and some solid inserts….ill probably do lowering links just for a small drop…I have people in the back sometimes….how bad are 265 tires or what other sizes work well with this body style??..…I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and the roads are trash….hoping to get a little more meat on the ground without killing the ride..

Thank u

Certain 265/35-20 will work but the offset and a meaty sidewall will stick out uncompressed and likely rub.

This is 265/35-20 PS4S on 20x9 +35 and a 5mm spacer so +30

I am running RS5 wheels as well: 20x9 ET 29.

I originally got the wheel with 275/30 tires and they stick out a bit but not too much. I too am in the Bay Area and the roads suck so I recently changed it to 275/35.

Stock suspension, not lowered and I too have sways.

265/35 is what I had before on stock S6 wheels (20x8.5 ET 43), no issues with that either.

Widebody….your wheels look nice, does your setup rub a lot and how much are u lowered.? Is your drop through the air bags or lowering links?

That rubbed in the back, the 20x9 +26 RS5 rotors need camber with most tires outside of 255/35-20 or 265/30-20 (265/30-20 may have some load rating issues).

Itsa TDI A6 on KW V3.
