hey i would like to know if these would fit? I saw a set of vossen wheels front 20x9 et 32 and the rear is 20x10.5 et 42 that im thinking about buying. Will these fit and what size tires can I use? I just purchased a 2005 a6 . It is not lowered yet but I it is in the plans for the future. Any input is welcomed.

I'm on CKS coilovers (http://ckssuspension.com/c1-macpherson/). I'm not too sure about the ride height, but it's less than a finger gap all around.
Whees: 20 x 9" ET40 D4 A8 Replica Wheels
Tires: 255/30/20 Falken PT722
Fenders: Rolled/Pulled slightly in the rear by @fendarolla
Rubbing: Not after rolling and trimming the inner liners, unless I have 2 or more 200+lb dudes in the rear, which I do at least once a week. My buddies at work take turns driving to the gym during the week. The rear is actually sitting slightly higher now.

Very nice I love the way it sits! Do you have any pics or info on trimming the rear liners?

I just installed my ST coilovers and am running 19x9.5 ET40 all around, and its rubbing in the rear on bumps. Really don't want to raise it if I don't have to.

Will post pics soon

[bkquattro]

Unfortunately, I don't have any pics of the trimmed liners. It's pretty minimal as it was only rubbing on the "lip" of the liner closest to the outside if the fenders.

No suspension mods. Considering getting coilovers but Colorado's winters, potholes, and roads arent very forgiving to lowered vehicles.

I have a question regarding a setup that I'm after for next season.
My car is lowered with 40 mm H&R.

I was thinking of going for 20x9 ET38-42 with tires 245/35/20.

Do you guys think I could get away with the spec without rubbing?

[Quattrocentric]

Yup. No problem. I have exactly the same set up, but use a 255 tire. I rub sometimes over bumps at speed but otherwise no problem. (ET40)
What kind of wheels are you getting? Pics please!

[vajking]

Thanks for the info.

Well as it is like 6-7 months to next summer season I haven really made up my mind yet.
But for now Im in to the new RS4,RS6 and RS7 wheels. But im unsure how they would fit on a C6. I know the RS6 C7 wheels fits good as I have seen some in previous posts.

[Quattrocentric]

Nice choices, all.
...and I will stop bitching about our 3 month long winters here in Washington.

Anyone tried 19x9 ET33 255/35/19, any rubbing etc?

I have 19x9.5 ET40 w/ 255/35-19 on mine and I rub on light dips with the trunk fully loaded and big dips when empty in the rear

Hi guys!

So I have been looking at new summer wheels and tires for my Audi A6 i picked up last week. This is my first A6 and i'm not sure what to go with..
At the moment I have the oem 18x8" wheels with 245/40 Nokian Hakkapelliitta 7 studded wintertires. But for those few summer months we here above the arctic circle I want to go with 20".


On my last car a mercedes cklass I had the Kleemann TS7 20x9" 245/30 in the front and 20x10,5" 295/35 in the rear.


What wheels and tires should I be looking at? 20x9 all around maybe? But what about offsets and tires? Can't have anything rubbing and I might get some H&R springs..

@hyped - I have 20x9 ET40 rotors on my avant with H&R springs, no rubbing (except if I hit a bump at speed) see pic a few posts up. And welcome!

[bkquattro]

I just posted a new thread with this set up, but I thought I'd share it in this thread as well since it's served as a good reference point for me when shopping for wheels.

The new set up - 20x 9.5" ET40 Vorsteiner VFF-102 in Carbon Graphite with 255/30/20 Michelin Pilot Supersports. I'm also running a 5mm spacer all around. The tires actually stretched more than we thought it would but it worked out because we needed them to fit under my fenders. My rears are slightly rolled and barely pulled. Without further ado, here are the pics:

I'm very much appreciating the few profile shots of tire fitment (such as above).

My STs are set to arrive on the 4th and I'm still undecided on tires for projected 19x8.5 (et 37) and 19x10 (et 35) wheel sizes. I'm not buying wheels until I work tire fitment.

Undecided between running a 225 or a 215 up front (for ref: 245 35 19 is the OE spec for a 19 x 8.5 wheel) and 265 or a 255 (for ref: 285 35 19 is proportionate to an OE fitment) in the rear. However, calculators are expressing a difference of 4% rolling diameter between front and rear with this staggered setup.

I'm assuming staggered fitments with quattro is a no-no, due to the rolling diameter diff that I'm coming up with?

[TheKid23]

Didn't get rid of my OE RS4 wheels when I traded in my A4, 19x9 ET 29 on 235x35x19 Falkan 452's. I've been gone from the site for a while, just catching back up. Thoughts on fitment?

[hyped]

So i got the 20x9" rs6 wheels and i love them. Offset 45 with 245/35-20 kumho ku39 tires. Cant wait to get them fitted for the summer season =)

Will look great! Had Kumho KU39 on my previous summer setup. Good tire for the price!

this is my first time riding kumho, but so far i haven't heard anything horrible about them. I got them cheap and ended up paying 520$ for the tires.

[vajking]

Tires are here. Nokian ZLine 255/35/19 XL

[sun_dance]

Nokian's are GREAT!

[vajking]

I hope so :) My colleague had the same tires on his 330i 06- Was impressed with them so i dont see that it would be any different on a fwd audi :)

[vajking]

Tried them on today. Thin it looks awsome. But irl its even better.

Looks great!! But where do you have your snow?? Shit, we have so much snow up here that we can't barely breath.............. bet u live in the better parts of Sweden. (skåne)

Blekinge actually :) But right at the border with Skåne. We had snow like 2 times this winter, I dont think it was over 2cm. I want the real nordic winter and not this prolonged autumn shit. :D

you are very welcome to switch with me, I moved up here a year and a half ago. And to be honest, we get permanent snowfall in the second week of october through may. Not fair!!

in skåne we could drive our bikes through late november! Sweden is a looong ass country!

Do you have any more pics? i am about to get 19x9.5 trying to figure out what offset to get.

[1RAudiSQ5]

This is the only one I have that show the et and where the tire sits to the fender.

[ebi718]

^^^ Digging that trunk spoiler . Is it OEM?

[SinCityA6]

Not a spoiler. It is how the sheetmetal is formed on the C6.5. The way the light is hitting the car in the shot really makes that detail pop.

[ebi718]

Ah...gotcha. Gives it a really nice/sporty look on the sedan.
