Drop with 20" rims

[Drew-B6]

Ok so I have 2 questions. My first is I want to jump up to 20" rims, and I want to know what is the perfect size rims and tires with no rubbing issues. Also I have a USP and want to lower the car alittle to remove the gap. What setup would be best for doing this without breaking the bank and how high would you set the front and the back. Please if anyone has some pics please share. Thanks

My car in summermode
8,5x20" ASA SH1 rims with Nokian 235/30/20" tires
Car is s-line but with 50mm springs instead of the original s-line ones.

Nice ride, I love the 20's look!!! So did you just change the springs? Which brand?

Cobra is the brand.
But Im gonna change the whole suspension next summer to get it even lower. :)
KW v2 or something. Adjustable offcourse.

iForged Monaco, 20"x8.5" front and 20"x9.5" rear wrapped on Falken FK452 245/30/30. I'm on Koni coilovers and the ride height is about 25.125" all around.



You can go with 235/30 if you have 8" or 8.5" wide wheels. I am actually switching my fronts to that this winter. If you don't mind a lot of stretch then I would go as far as 225/30 on 8" or 8.5" wide. I went with Falken because they stretch well and it's a damn good tire.

You can see the stretch well in this pic

wow those ASA's are beautiful! If u plan on running springs like Neuspeed races which sit u pretty damn low u will most likely need to ride with very thin tires, or else u wont turn.

aka.. Nice ride! that really helps cuz i also have a silver usp. did you have to do any rolling of the fenders. Is there any rubbing and what breaks do you have?

Tony... any rubbin with the neuspeed springs?

[AudiA4Turbo22]

^^u don't wanna know he tore his tire from rubbing over a big bump.

[Drew-B6]

dang! not lookin to spend a grand on coils but guess it could save me in the long run. I am also gonna go with the ESC stage 4 front brake kit and S4 rear kit.

If you are going low then I definitely reccommend rolling the fenders especially if you are going to be running springs and can't adjust the height. You only need to roll the front, the rear doesn't have anything to roll. I'm running B6 S4 brakes in the front with Adam's Infamous rotors. I strongly reccommend a brake upgrade, the stock brakes look shamefully small behind 20's with open spokes.

I'd love to see some more pics!

20x8.5 wrapped in 245/30/20 Falken452 & lowered on Tein basics. I rub only on huge dips but i'm pretty low.

[4RingRook]

Lots of sweet B6s on 20s.

Keep 'em comin!

[TonyD]

Yeah, I only rub on huge dips in the freeways and if I have a full car. My tires were just messed from going fast and hitting those huge dips. That caused my fender liner which was sharp to cut my tire and yeah.

Happened to me too Tony, roll your fenders and it will never happen again

I fixed it. Just the inside of the fender was bent backwards so it acted like a knife. I just put it back in place, cut the fender liner, and now I'm good as new!

[akaEsCo01]

You get wider wheels or run a more aggressive offset, it's just going to bend it back and happen again. Trust me on this one. I bent it back, hit a bigger pothole a few weeks later and slice

i love me some tuck!

that's why I tuck 17"s :D
