Is that a body kit?

Hi looking for a wider wheel setup then my Q5 with factory 20".

What is the offset of those rims?

Do you have any negative issues with a 9" rim and those tires? Do they rub at all? Does it wander more on the road then normal? Did it kill any performance moving a bigger tire?
Thanks

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.

Based on your sig, a fresh delivery with some good looking M510s then? Very nice....
I'm putting some 20" Hartmann reps with summer rubber on the Missus' Q5 on the weekend. Bold move for her! Trying to talk her into a tune.....soon.

Good eye, guess I should update my sig. The wife and I have had it a few months now, and love it!

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.

Hi Buckeye, could you please confirm your ET ( 30 or 37) and that there is problem cleary the calipers? Regards, Geoff

[BlackAudiS4]

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.

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.

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...

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.

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?

[Sean@TAG]

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.





For the wheels, we opted for 22x10.5 Vossen CVT Wheels in Graphite Finish to get that more aggressive fitment. The end result is this killer looking Q5 that ready to roll!

Opinion Requested - Niche Wheels & TSW Wheels...

Hi Guys, I'm in Vancouver, BC and nice wheels seem to be really hard to come by, unless specially ordered so it's hard to visualize what they look like. Popular brands around hear seem to be Niche Road Wheels and TSW and I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion on the quality of either brand?

[StumptownK]

Any images of the forged Avant Garde m610?
Thx
