    Traded my RS5 for an S7 and need Mod ideas

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So i traded my RS5 for an S7 which I'll be picking up next week. I'm already working on getting new wheels and tires. The S7 is a 2014 with the Black Optics package.
    I'm torn between the Vossen VFS1 in 20x10.5 et 30 or the BBS CI-R in 20x10 et 25
    I'm leaning towards the Vossen. If I go this route what's my best tire option 275/35/20?

    What other mods should I be looking at?

    I appreciate your help.

    Vcds cable to do the vagcom mods.

    Miltek or AWE exhaust and down pipes. Perhaps a tune.

    Subwoofer replacement.

    Euro code suspension components seem popular.

    Downpipes and a flash. Maybe exhaust if you want it louder, but I really like the sound with stock exhaust and DPs.

    Wheels, tint. That's about it.

    The Vossen wheels are awesome on an S6/7.

    Seems like the popular list I've read here on this board.

    Did all that on the S5 and RS5. I'm ok with lower and faster but want to take a break from the louder for a bit.

    Thanks Sean. I ran the stage 2 tune and pulley on the S5, put a on my face.
    Any thoughts on tire size, I don't want rub issues?

    If you have the correct offset on your wheels and you are running 21's then I would go with 275-30-21. 285's will work as well but you will have a little rub. I have a video on youtube that is very detailed on my S7. It is quite long but it could give you some mod ideas. Cant wait to see your ride buddy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlfYvE3AYbM
