The Official B8 Q5/SQ5 Wheel Thread - Post your setup!

Wow, amazing response!!! Thank you very much!!! I greatly appreciate you taking the time to share that information with us, as I'm sure most others will as wel.

Looks like you threw on -3 H&R springs. The Euro suspension with our tfsi leaves a huge gap in the front wheel well. Would have been better off with -1 H&R springs or HAS.

This is part of the reason why another member with the Euro suspension retrofit got rid of it. Just looks goofy.

People don't use the correct springs. I did and mine is perfectly level. 1-1/8" drop at each corners.

Did sombody buy Vic's Forgestars?

[sliu6122]

Another sq5 on stock 21's. KW HAS set up as low as I could go. Been riding like this for the last month.


These wheels are on the way getting built. I'm going step lip vs the reg flat lip. Another long 3 weeks ahead of me

These are going to look amazing on there. What size did you go with?

[sliu6122]

22's.. 10.5 all around. Yea it's going to be sick. Your accuaur is pumping me up! Sick tuck

What offset if you don't mind me asking? Those are gonna look SICK!

arrrssss4 has my dopest wheels award currently, but he's facing some sick competition!

I honestly also like the AG M310s on VICs winter set up... If I end up getting some in 20x10 et25 with 275's I might run them year round...

[sliu6122]

Will do as soon as we get the fitment appt done. Trying to go as wide as it will let me.

[Moneyball]

Thanks guys! I measured a 3.28 inch drop which is a lot. I think I'll take a tiny bit out of the front to correct the significant camber you see. Right now the front is well over 1 inch lower than the rear. Stock is almost dead level.

I'm probably going to set it where the upper fender gap is just a little smaller than the rest of the gap around the rest of the wheel. Right now the rear is very close but the front has zero fender gap up top. None at all. It needs about 15 to 20mm more lift and about 5mm rear.

For those checking out the KW HAS setup its very well done and worth the costs imo.

Hey TriTexan

Ironically I to am about to run the same setup as you! I to ordered from the same eBay supplier and have received 3 of the 4 - 21" rims. I've sent an email to Sashi trying to get the last tracking number so I can find out where it is? I'm mixed on the shipping as he sent them DHL who in turn got them to Canada Post on my end. That said I feel there was a saving on my part in Duty and Customs as I've only spent an additional $53. In taxes thus far? If the rims would have been sent Fedex or UPS the duty and brokerage fees would probably have been astronomical I'm sure!

Given I'm running the same rims (different Colour) and KW HAS suspension setup what height do you have the front and back running at or maybe I should ask what do you think the perfect height setup will be when you nail it down?

I think your ride looks great and no disrespect to others I think your stance is spot on! Nice job!

Good questions. I'll start by saying that I ended up leveling the stance a bit. Distance from ground to highest point on the fender arch is about 1cm lower on the front than the back. I landed on making the tire/fender gap a little smaller at the top of the wheel, but where there's still plenty of room for suspension movement. It still ended up being a huge drop...2.5 inches or more. I'm not sure what the standard way would be to communicate drop or where exactly I have the HAS setup at....post up your best ways and I'll go give it a measure for you.

Ultimately with our SQ5 it needed to clear basic driving obstacles like hump and bumps . I wanted the wife to be able to use the car without special attention to much so we are setting g enough clearance for that while getting it lowered to avoid it being reclassified as a monster truck!! Overall I have my spring seats adjusted 1/3rd to halfway up.

So to answer your question (finally!) I would put the car nearly level (it's level from the factory) but add just a tiny bit of rake. Seriously...no more than 1cm lower up front and that's IT.

Then I'd deal with optimizing the fender gap. For fender gap - let's say the siz3 of the gap towards the front and back of the tire are 1.5 inches. I'd lower the car such that the upper fender gap is less. I'd do 1.2 inches to start. Personally I think a slammed Audi is cool, but not what I wanna be driving all the time. I slight lowering works well.

You should also.note my wheels have about 20mm more poke to them than stock. This comes from the stock wheels being 8.5 instead of 9.5 wide.

I also ordered the adjustable upper control arms to deal with the camber being so far off...

Current pic I think....

Does anyone know if OEM RS5 19' rotors fit on a Q5??? A local is selling a set.

Will they bolt up? Wil the offsets and width work? Any examples of how they would fit?

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...

Just looked at the Kw website..for the sq5, the has will go 30mm and 35 mm so that about 1. 8 inches loweiring.. You you seems to be lower than that..? Do you know how many inches you dropped?

[Breeze91]

That is from the euro height.

[sliu6122]

Jay, I went as low as I could. Don't know how many mm it is but it is the lowest setting. No rubs and rides good (for springs)

How is the quality of the Forgestar wheels? Thinking of getting the same.
How much did you lower your car?

Hi all!

I have a set of 3SDM 00.1 in 20"*10" in ET35 from my former S5, also 12 mm and 15 mm spacers in the garage,
according to willtheyfit they should be 9,1mm closer to suspension with 12 mm spacers and poke 29 mm, 275/45/20 tire.

What do you guys think.
Thanks in advance

[SQive]

275/45/20 will be way too tall to clear the upper control arm. You should consider 285-295/40/20.
The 285/40/20 is the same height as a 255/40/21, and the 295/40/20 is the same height as a 265/40/21.
There's a guy on here that has 295's on a blue SQ5 and it looks great.
Either of these two will leave your speedo/odo correct, but it's hard to be exact on the off-set...spacers are cheap.

Ok, thanks!. I will go for 285/40/20 then, Any concerns about the offset?, is 9 mm closer to suspension fine you think?

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?
