ACHTUN!NG | The Audi Q3/Q5/Q7 Thread

[juanduro]

Hi i order the 23mm spacers with 58mm bolts and was so exciter to install them today. But when i opened the box found the spacers :-) but the bolts say 48mm. :-( will they fit? Or should i request for the longer ones. Bummer :-(

[Dion@Achtuning]

^ Saw this after our phone call this morning. Sorry again for the inconvenience - incorrect bolts were indeed pulled. We've got that replacement order already en route!

[Dion@Achtuning]

One of our most popular, the Hartmann HTT-256-MA:M wheels are back in stock at Achtuning! Call 425-895-0000 or order online by clicking the image above!

I believe it was mentioned earlier in this thread but I'd like to confirm the oem bolt length for a 2015 Q7 TDI. Are they 35mm? I'm on the 21' peelers.

Yes, they are.

Any specials for us Q7 folks looking to pick up a set of winter wheels? PM if you have something for me!

[Dion@Achtuning]

Getting that PM written up now. Check inbox shortly.

We determined the QuattroWorld.com Audi Q7 needed 18mm DR style H&R wheel spacers up front and 30mm DRA style spacers out back to even out the "stance" and give the Q7 a much more aggressive look. Mission accomplished!

[Q5PDX]

That looks awesome. I have a Q5 S line (2011) . Could I run the same rim/tire/spacer combo you have on the Q7 ? , if so what is the spec
Thanks ...

[Skyler@Achtuning]

The Q5 and Q7 use some pretty different specs though you may be able to use wheel adapters to run the OEM Q7 wheels (5x130 bolt pattern) on the Q5 (5x112 bolt pattern). The OEM Q7 wheels are a 21x10" with an ET44 offset. Adapters are usually available in 20-25mm thickness. Running a 10" wheel with an effective ET24 offset of the Q5 would place the face of the wheel outside of the fenders though which may not be the look you are trying to achieve.

Another option would be to pick up a set of Hartmann HRS6-204 wheels in 20x9.0" ET25 which would be a direct fitment and pretty aggressive looking on the Q5. The wheels are currently only available in gloss silver but you could probably have a local wheel repair shop refinish them in the Audi style titanium finish for a few hundred dollars.

Ryan sends us pictures of his S-Line Audi Q5 on some 20" Hartmann HRS6-204 wheels! Thanks for sharing, Ryan!

[Q5PDX]

Thanks guys for the reply. I still think the wheel well is to big on Ryan's , that's what I'm trying to avoid . I already have the Audi 20" rims . Im looking to drop it and add an exhaust system . But I love the aggressive stance of the Black Q7, that's the look I want

Dion is your Q7 adaptive air, coilovers or springs? I love the setup but I do not have adaptive air and hate how high our Q sits. I would really love to improve on the stance.

Thx, Dave

Jim negotiated a Hartmann Wheel install when he bought his new Audi Q5 from Audi Wilsonville in Oregon. Soon after taking delivery, Jim was on our door step in anticipation of having the 20" Hartmann HRS6-204 Wheels thrown on his new ride! The factory offsets are always a bit on the weak side and we mentioned to Audi Wilsonville that the 20x9 +25mm offset would be a better fit for the Q5, filling the fenders out nicely and giving it that much needed, aggressive stance. We're glad they went for it, and we're happy to report Jim is a happy customer!

What width,offset,spacers would you need to get the exact same stance on a Q5 with the Hartmann HRS6-204?

So these are not Hartmann wheels? OEM?

[Skyler@Achtuning]

What width,offset,spacers would you need to get the exact same stance on a Q5 with the Hartmann HRS6-204?

Hard to say as the Q7 and Q5 are completely different applications but our 20x9.0" ET25 offset is pretty flush on the Q5.

So these are not Hartmann wheels? OEM?

The wheels on the Q7 are OEM Audi, the wheels on the Q5 are Hartmanns.

Flush with the front fender or rear?

While we are very brand loyal with regard to the parts we sell at Achtuning, we certainly wouldn't turn away an install of reputable-brand parts we don't offer, especially when it comes to brake and suspension upgrades as we feel we specialize specifically in those areas. So when Jason contacted us to install a set of KW V2 coil-overs on his Q5, we were happy to oblige!





An already fantastic-looking Audi Q5 thanks to the Caractere body kit and HRE wheels is made even better with the lowered stance and performance-oriented suspension! Thanks for the opportunity, Jason!!

StopTech has unveiled their new line of racing brake pads!



StopTech, the ultra performance and racing brand from Centric Parts, introduces a new line of StopTech Racing Brake Friction that brings the company’s “Brake Late, Finish First” philosophy to a wider range of racing disciplines. The new racing pads complement the company’s extensive range of high performance brake component and system upgrades - and help turn any StopTech system into a dedicated race system.

Available in four formulations, the new StopTech Racing Brake Pads are engineered to provide optimal friction levels for a variety of different racing applications. All StopTech Racing Brake Pads provide shorter stops, increased control through superior pedal modulation, and fade-free performance at extreme racing temperatures. StopTech Racing pads are designed to provide superior performance in any racing brake system, and match the outstanding performance capabilities drivers have come to expect from all StopTech Racing Brake Systems and components.

StopTech's unique metallic compounds are blended with carbon and graphite particles to provide an optimal high temperature race friction material. The result is smoother, more predictable and more consistent brake engagement along with exceptional release characteristics not found in most other racing friction materials.

StopTech engineers work directly with race teams, often trackside, to gather valuable experience in dynamic real world conditions. Data is immediately integrated into the research and development process, resulting in optimized brake systems for individual racing programs.

StopTech Racing Brake Pads Provide:

• Optimized friction levels for shortest stops
• Engineered for extreme temperatures
• Superb modulation and release characteristics
• Low compressibility for precise pedal actuation
• Excellent pad and rotor life

Pad Compound Characteristics

SR34 Compound

• Superior pedal feel and modulation characteristics
• Formulated for high initial bite
• Slight torque rise with temperature
• Extremely low pad and abraded disc wear
• All purpose pad for high grip, high power applications

SR33 Compound

• Slight reduction in torque compared to SR34 Compound
• Excellent pedal modulation for applications requiring a medium friction level
• Flat torque curve with temperature rise
• Extreme fade resistance
• Great for rear applications that require less friction but same level of control as SR34 Compound

SR32 Compound

• Similar friction levels to the SR34 Compound
• Linear torque curve with temperature rise with excellent release characteristics
• Superb abraded disc wear
• Maximum high-temperature stability
• For medium to high horsepower applications that require higher friction levels

SR30 Compound

• Medium to low friction levels with linear torque curve with rising temperature
• Extreme high temperature fade resistance
• Excellent modulation and release characteristics
• Repeatable performance
• For Touring Car rear applications and others requiring lower torque

StopTech Racing Brake Friction products are available now. For more information about any StopTech product or to place an order, visit www.achtuning.com or give us a call - 425-895-0000.

any photos of the PQ6 "Peeler" wheels in 22" on a Q7?
i noticed these are et50 and 9.5" when stock are et44 and 10".
the stock wheels are pretty conservative and recessed... do these 22" sit recessed in the wheel well?

Compared to those stock specs you list, yes by 12mm. Sadly, no images of the 22" HRS6-204s on a Q7 yet but the pic below should give you an idea as the Hartmann HRS4-252s share the same spec...



We also stock H&R wheel spacers for the Q7 which were added to this same Q7 to achieve a better over-all "stance".



( ^ a pair of 23mm spacers were added, front and rear.)
