Size & offset?

22's 10.5 all around.

2 inch step lip in the front 2.5 in the rear.

Going to wait to put them on when I install accuair.

Are they not telling you the offset?

[SQive]

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

According to that configurator, at 23mm off-set, you will only be 5mm closer. That should be fine. If not, just move your 15mm spacers to the front and get some more...maybe 20mm for the rear.

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?

I have the same wheel tire size on my wife's F15 X5 with the Msport package. Completely different with the X5s. Let me demonstrate.

SQ5 with just spacers, stock height.


Same car, same spacers, lowered.

I haven't asked them yet.

How is the street comfort working for you? I have a set on order and have been wondering how the KWs ride.

I get that part but those tires and wheels are not very wide. I am looking to go 9.5 - 10.5 inch wheel and still stay inside the fenders like on the X5.

The ride is at least als comfortable as stock, if not more. The KW has been installed as delivered, but I'm thinking of changing the setting a bit stiffer. The difference between stock 20" and the 22" is a lot bigger.

Can someone on a bagged Q5/SQ5 please buy these!?

[IanSQ5]

They would be lost on a bagged Q/SQ5.......too small

[AUDIROWDY]

Not a fan of the bagged request wheels at all but they seem to be becoming a trend. Great demo of poke with your pics snig. My 21" RS6 rims like Tritexan's stick out a tad too much for me on the rear at standard euro height so may have to lower a little. Swore to my wife I wouldn't touch wheels or lower my SQ5

Ya you may be right. I dont know what it is about those wheels though, they make me want to listen to old school hip hop

Hello Gent,
Got new shoes, but until I get the final shots(new bolts on the way for the spacers), I put my 21's SQ5 OEMs for sale on the Q5 classifieds.
Cheers,

I had a set of these on order from AG but they couldn't get the paint done right and i ended up canceling them. Mine were going to be 10.5 wide and +25.

I have a different set of 20" wheels on the way in 10.5 wide +27 and I plan on slapping 10mm spacers all around when I put them on to get them out a bit more. Being bagged really brings the wheels in when you go low.

I tested my current Vossens with 10mm spacers and they looked awesome. These are 22"x10.5" et30. No rub but a little poke in the rear but it looks really good.

Are the Vossen's going to be for sale soon then?

I wasn't planning on selling them but we'll see how I feel once the new set arrives. I was planning on keeping a set of 20s and 22s for the car to switch out.

So it sounds like 21"or22"x10.5" with et30 in the front and et35 in the rear would be about perfect? I'd really like to go 10.5" without the flares. What size tires are you running? I'd like do something like 285/35.

[nivlek]

Looks like everyone here goes for 21" or 22" ... does it affect ride quality? Any recommendation on wheel/tire size for a 20" wide meaty setup?

going from 20 to 21" is a bit more bumpy (especially on shitty NY roads) but 21" wheels look just perfect

Quick question - has anybody put RS5 20" rotors on a Q5/SQ5? I just picked up a 2016 SQ5 and have a set of these 20xp ET26 rotors available. Size wise I think I'm good with this offset. How about tires? I'd like to try and run 265/45r20 tires but I'm not sure if I'd have fitment issues with height of this tire/wheel combo. Also, planning to lower with KW HAS so I'm not sure if that would cause a problem with fitment either?

[SQive]

Whoa Bessie...that's going to be too tall. You'll have issues with the upper steering knuckle.
You really can't get bigger that 29.3", and that's with 12mm spacers at that.
In 20"s, you could go with the 255/45, or you could go with 275/40.
285/40R20 would be the perfect size, but probably too wide for 9" wheels.

[4rings5]

Going from a 8.5" wheel with ET33 to 9" ET26 wheel doesn't really change the inner clearance. I did a quick check on tire size and it looks like a 265/45 comes in at 29.39. You think that extra .09" would cause an issue?

Has anybody run a similar set-up in terms of wheel size/offset and 265/45 tires?

Any help would be appreciated.

Sent you a PM sir!

[SQive]

I compared your sizing with my actual size, including the adjusted offset with my spacers.
Your size may fit, given dimensional variances between tire manufacturers and models, but it will be very close.
It's so close, that you could use some small (5mm) spacers if they do rub.

[4rings5]

Thanks for the information. Do you think the rub would occur based on inner clearance because of the wheel width/offset or based on total height of the wheel/tire?

[SQive]

Both, really. The corner of the tire and the front, upper steering knuckle are where the rub would occur.
This picture is of 265/40ZR21. If I didn't have 12.5mm spacers on the front, I believe they would rub, although just barely.

We have also discussed taking a small grinder, like a Dremmel, to that flash that sticks down. That's how close they are.

[4rings5]

Wow - great picture! According to the information I can find on the interwebs there is only a .09" difference from 255/45/20 to 265/45/20. I'm sure this depends on the tire manufacturer quite a bit. I'm planning on going with Pirelli Scorpion Verde Plus All Seasons.

With this picture I'm not so sure about the 265/45 option. I appreciate the info and pic SQive.
