20x10.5" ET27 Wheels

Hi everyone,

I'm new here, I'm looking at getting the Niche Targa M131 wheels in the size mentioned above.
I've got a 2010 A5 2.0T Convertible. I have browsed around and seen other members on this forum running the same set up, but they are all either on springs or coilovers.
I was just wondering, I'm not really planning on lowering the car. Would this set up still look good on my car ? Or not, as they would poke out slightly and sit outside the guards, specially the fronts ?

Thanks

It might end up looking like a 4x4.

Agreed. I wouldn't run 20's unless you plan on lowering the car. 19's are the way to go on stock suspension.

I see, what lowering springs gives you the smallest amount of drop ? H&R OE, is it ? I notice you've got the KW H.A.S, what is the difference exactly between that and an actual coilovers system ?

For just a spring, the OE's. The KW Height Adjustable Springs are nice because you can adjust the drop as you can with a coilover but they allow you to keep your stock shocks, this is especially nice if you have ADS (Audi Drive Select). The kit is a spring with an adjustable collar that slips over your stock shock. The ride is pretty close to OE. Happy with mine.

Coilovers completely replace your shocks and springs. They'll cost you more upfront but allow for more fine tuned suspension adjustment and a firmer, more planted ride.
