    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Bought a set of Rotifrom BLQ 20x10 et35 for my 2011 Audi S4,The dealer I bought from said fitment would be fine .Mounted 255/30r20 Michelin pilot 4S,did not realize how stretched the tires would look.Would I be able to mount a 275 wide tire for normal look or will I run into issues .My car has stock suspension (car has Dynamic suspension option)have no plans to lower the car.

    The shop lied. 20x10 et 35 is terrible s4 fitment. S5 maybe but not us.

    20x9.5 et 40 would be a lot better. Even the 19x9.5 et 35 Rotiforms offers isn't great. As far as stretch goes you might be fine with a 275/30 being ur stock 4x4 suspension but it will poke and look bad.

    You might be able to do 265's, but will rub, and 20's on a stock suspension will look like a monster truck in my opinion.

    This.

    Love people’s definition of “fine”. Anyone that sells wheels should give a heads up on the stretch, aggressive fitment, and why it doesn’t look good at stock height. Those are 3 big misses, and all around crappy support from whoever said it’d be fine.

    Did go back to the dealer after a I mounted tires .wasn't pointing fingers didn't seem to be giving me any help on a solution other then going with 275 or try selling the rims. Sent a email to Rotiform about the purchase.Hoping I don't end up owning a new set of rims I can't use. Feeling stressed.

    Depends. Assuming you want to stick with 20s and not lower it. I would lower it cuz its gonna look weird without lowering with big wheels.

    20x9 et35 is fine with 255/30 and have very mild stretch
    And a 20x8.5 et low 30s with a 255/30 will be zero stretch.

    This is neither here nor there, but the rule of thumb is typically to upgrade suspension before you dive into wheels if you want perfect fitment - everything changes if (when*) you decide to lower the car later.
