    Tire size and fitment suggestions

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have a 2014 A6 with the factory sport suspension and factory 20's. I'm going up to a 20x10 et35 wheel and im looking for suggestions on tire size and fitment. I understand that the stock 255/35's will fit from doing searches on here, but I do not want the stretch that comes with that. What size tire would be the best compromise between fitment and ride comfort? Will 265/35 still have a rounded look, and will 275/30 fit without rubbing with the stock sport suspension? Thank you all in advance.

    I have 20X9 ET37 wheels for my track tires. I have run 275/35 tires on these rims but I did get some rubbing from bumps from the rear tires and some rubbing from the right front tire under hard turns at speed(compressing the suspension). My car is also lowered about 1.5 inches lower than the sport suspension ride height. Your ET37 wheels will push the tire out another 2 mm more than my setup but you may be ok on the sport suspension ride height. I am currently running 265/35 tires with no more rubbing.

    Thanks for the reply... I figured that 275 might get some rubbing, it also sounds like going with 265 may give me some room to lower if and when I decide to do that.

    You want either 20x9 ET35 or 20x9.5, ET 38-40. Mount some 265/35/20 tires. These will give you absolutely perfect fitments.
