What size wheel spacers can I run on stock 2013 Audi S7 20" Wheels?

**notn41** · 12-15-2015 04:41 AM

I have a 2013 S7 with HR lowering module. lowered an inch or two.
I am looking for 20mm front and rear, maybe 25mm rear if possible.

I will be running stock Black optic split 7 spoke wheels 20" X 9" ET +37 offset.

What is the widest I can go without rubbing when lowered?
I am hoping for 15 front 20 rear.
The ones in the picture are the exact wheels I will run and this one has 12mm Front and rear HR spacers.

It looks like I could run 3mm more possibly in front and maybe 7mm more in rear. I just DONT want it to rub but love the low wide look.

Thank you much

Also, I am torn between ECS all black spacers and the H&R. Have heard good and bad with both. Would prefer the all black ECS but whats more important to me is the quality of the spacers for no vibration etc.

I have H&R 20mm front and 25mm rear. They are fine until you lower in which case you have to be careful of rubbing while turning. The suspension isn't stiff enough to handle the extra width when lowered. It's not a big deal, but you have to be more careful when driving aggressive or making sharp turns. Here's a pic with spacers, but not lowered.

Just a heads up, ECS has a sale on spacers right now so that might sway your decision. I just ordered some for my S6

Ok so 15mm front and 20 mm rear you think??

**notn41** · 12-16-2015 04:21 AM

pictures added, of a 12mm spacer on a lowered s7 with the exact wheel set up I will have. The question is can I got wider? 15mm? or 15front and 20 rear? Look at the pics closely and estimate I guess. Wasn't my car was lucky enough to get photos.

The best way to understand which size spacer you need, is to simply measure from the top outside edge of your tire to the inner lip of your fender. This will give you the best idea on how much size you have to work with, and to decide on how much your wheels need spaced.

Once you know that let us know and I will be able to recommend which size will be the best fit for your application.

Here is a diagram that might help as well.

Thanks for sharing...Looks good! I think i'm going to go with 12.5mm spacers on my A7.

i bought 10mm ECS and 15mm ECS spacers front and rear for my OEM RS7 wheels. same offset, so the results should transfer 100%. no vibrations from either. zero effect on ride quality. the 15mm front and rear did not rub, but were a little too aggressive for the look i am after, so i decided to stick with the 10mm. the 10mm still looked a little tucked in. 12.5mm would probably be perfect. most people who saw both preferred the 15mm look, but i preferred the 10mm. its just personal taste. i will be selling the full set (4 w/lugs) of 15mm ECS spacers (used for about 100 miles) in the classifieds for $100 once i get around to posting pics, probably next week. They will fit any C7.

**UFmike316** · 12-18-2015 07:37 PM

For anyone looking like I was, here is my 2012 A7 with OEM 19". This is ECS Tuning 12.5mm front, 15mm rear. Car looks so much better now. It's not subtle.

12 front 15 rear sounds good to me.
20mm is too wider for my taste.

20 would no doubt be outside the fender well. I was worried about these I'm rubbing as they look very close. No rubbing as of yet.
