I've got something coming next week, hopefully, as well. Was supposed to be delivered from port this last week, but didn't get picked up.

What front splitter is this and what are those fender flares ?

Rock on, Ken. Those look good! Just posted in the chat thread what I bought. It doesn't have wheels yet, so it doesn't go in here.

I'm waiting.....

Proud moment today: I’ve not mentioned anything about lowering at all before, and the wife was looking at the car today and completely on her own was like “I don’t like how big the wheel gap is, can you lower it?”

You still have my email?

HA! How cool is that. I do have your email, but will need your NY address. I'll hit you up now. 👍🏼

How well will these Q7 21x9.5 wheels fit my B9.5 SQ5 with sport pkg red brakes? Spacers needed?

Great fit. No spacers needed. With the 265/40, you'll have a perfect fitment. With 255/30, you could fit a 5mm spacer.

BUT, they will be very heavy. I ran the exact wheels and made my stage 1 feel stock again. Only ran them for about 2 weeks before getting with MOPS and going with aftermarket wheels. IMO, don't run these unless you want to lose serious performance.

Can’t be much heavier than my current factory 21’s…

XXX Explicit dirty photos! I'll post up some cleaner ones when weather is better. Just installed spacers a took a few.

20x9.5 RS6 Wheels
275/45/20 tires
5mm front & 12mm rear. Was thinking of 15mm on the rear with the negative camber?

[Sweep]

Love the RS6 wheel design. Has the potential to be the new "rotors", timeless style that looks good on everything.

[VPRFXR]

You'd be surprised how much heavier they are... Your 21x8.5 "performance" style wheels vs 21x9.5 "large" SUV wheels. It was very noticable how heavy they were.

About to install Rotiform BTL 21x10.5 +30 with 295/35 all around on an ‘18 Q5. Should I expect any issues with figment? Need spacers?

Thanks!

They'll poke out a bit, but no issues at all. Just make sure you have conical lugs.

[harkema116]

Have a set of Vossens hf3 local to me for a decent price 22x10.5 et42, I'm assuming with that offset these are a no go? 18 sq5

Depending on tire size, a 5-10mm will provide a really nice fitment.

Thanks Mops, they're just bare wheels at the moment so tire size would be whatever I get for them!

Any recommendations for sizing?

Just on lowering links and I'm not going to slam it by any means. Looking to keep everything flush, don't want to beat the crap out of the side of my q (Canadian road problems)

I would specifically do the Conti DWS 06 in 275/35/22. But I cannot say for certain if 5mm spacers will provide enough clearance. I'm 99% sure. 10.5 ET33 on 295 clears, so 10.5 ET37 on 275 should certainly clear. If so, the fitment will suit you perfectly.

Thanks Mops, much appreciated, and just as I suspected the rubber will cost more then the wheels lol what a time to be alive

HA! You'll have that. You could look at 265/35 as well, but they'll likely be a bit thin for what you're after.

HOT DEAL 🚨

Rotiform LTN Forged - 20x9 ET25 - Satin Titanium
Rotiform LTN Forged - 20x10.5 ET35 - Gloss Silver

Normally $3,540. We can provide a set for $2,440 shipped. We have two sets of each in stock.

I picked up my SQ5 last fall and now that winter is nearly over, am looking to possibly get a new set of wheels for it. Its Daytona Gray with the 20" V-spoke black optics package wheels.

Is anyone running Bremmer Kraft wheels and have any feedback on how they are? I like the look of these, and at 28lbs, they don't seem too heavy. I like the black, multi-spoke look. However, the black ones look like they're only available in a +28mm offset, (as opposed to +32 or +28 in the dark gunmetal machined version). Any input on how that offset would look on the car? I tried to find some photos in this thread but couldn't find any.

20x9 +28? If so, that is a very good fitment.

I'm not familiar with the brand. Check these out as well -

They'll be around 24 pounds, and I can provide a smoking deal. The offset will be custom to suit you as well.

I don't love the design of those for this car. What about something more similar to these?

Great wheel and value. $1,700 shipped for a proper flow formed wheel. They come 20x9 ET25 in black.

[MNSQ5]

Just picked up a lightly used set of Vossen HF5 wheels for my '19 Prestige SQ5.

- 21 x 10.5
- ET 30
- Currently have 285 40 R21 continentals on them

Should i expect any fitment issues with these?

The 285/40 will be a problem. They'll not fit. The SQ5 needs 285/35.

The wheel spec is fine. They'll poke a bit, but no issue.

Appreciate the info! Assuming that if the 35 vs 40 is what makes the difference that it'll be tight on clearance even with the 35s?

For sure!

With the 285/35, the clearance is totally fine. The height of the 40 series will rub your upper arm. The 40 series is an inch taller than the 35 series. This is not a small variance.

Input both sizes into the comparison -

One more question here, probably for MOPS. If i decide not to replace my wheels, and stick with the 20" black optics OEM wheels, what spacer size is recommended to get the wheels close to, but just a bit less than, flush? And I'm assuming I will need a new set of lug bolts to do that? I'm also planning to add adjustable lowering links to reduce the wheel gap, (but not slammed).

12mm front and 15mm rear will suit you. I can provide the spacers and extended lugs. 👍🏼

Link is super helpful - thank you!

I see in previous pages some images of 295 35 21's with a 21 x 10.5 wheel (~30-33 offset), seems to run fine without any rubbing issues. Has anyone run 275 35 21s on 21 x 10.5 at around +30? Is that likely to be a little too stretched looking?

Came here to ask these same exact questions, glad to see someone else asked at the end of the thread and I didn't have to search. What's the cost on the kit?

The spacer kit with lugs would be $190 shipped. Happy to provide.

Literally what I got on to look up right now too. Spooky.

Anyone knows the MSRP for a 20" Black Optic wheels on SQ5 is ? And how heavy they are ? Thanks
