    Need Q5 Fix Advice

    Hey folks so I just got the grill on my Q5 changed out to Honeycomb BO and noticed it was just not fitting right ...a lot of folks on the forum here told me to adjust the rubber knobs under the Binet to get it right but I don't see any major difference .

    Attached are the pictures of the front end and how it does not sit flush with the front hood.

    One other thing I need help with is the rear wheels not being flush ... these are niche 19 5x112 ft 32 with blizzard 235/55/r19 105T


    Can someone suggest what spacers should I use ...

    The grille looks okay to me. We all know that fitment isn't 100%, but it looks fine. "Lighten up Francis." (name that movie)
    As for spacers, 20mm would be ideal IMO, but 15mm would work. Be sure to get the hub-centric type that comes with the appropriate bolts.

    Winter tires, with their more aggressive tread pattern, often make considerably more noise than all-season tires. So it's not unusual for those tires to sound louder than your summer set.
