    Tire width/size

    Anybody put a little wider tire on a rs5 and stock 20” rotors?
    My car looks like a fat man on roller skates, and I’m not wanting to get aftermarket wheels. Currently have 275/30/20. Thanks

    You might be good to go to 285. But anything wider than that like 295 might be pushing it.

    Do you have 275 on all 4 tires?

    Does your tire rub against wheel well?
    I wanted to c if I get 275 with my s5 3.0t.

    Pretty much every manufacturer recommends no wider than the 275's on a 9" rim.

    If you think a 275 looks like a roller skate and you have no desire to get new wheels, you are shit out of luck my friend.

    I would think, if you put some spacers on, that would thin out the "fat"man look. IMO, Rotors are the best looking wheel audi makes!. Spacers are on my radar for my 2015 RS5 fatman.

    Yea u might be able to push to 285.
    But really u will need a new set of wheels.

    If I'm not mistaken, the stock wheels for the rs5 is 9" wide.

    It's been said before and I agree the Rotors are a good looking wheel but if you're looking for performance swapping them out for a lighter (Forged) wheel is the way to go. Rotors are a heavy wheel.
