Advice 20" wheel-tire setup

A6 All/ S6 All
#1

Hey guys, I’m trying to improve the stance of my S6, recently I got i great deal on some factory A7 20" Cartesia wheels brand new in the box - 20X9 et 37. (example of what they look like below)

I plan on going with H&R lowering springs and tires to wrap those wheels.

I assume i’ll have to roll all four corners, i need help deciding what tire spec to go with.

265/30/20
235/35/20 - for a slightly stretched look

i appreciate the feedback.

I had 20x10et35 Rotiform SPFs that were flush on my S6. ran 255/35/20

Rolled the front fenders. I am on bags, but could air out on the wheels.

Awesome setup thanks for sharing. At 10" width and 35 offset you are very flush with the fender. In addition to rolling the front fenders did you also run any camber?

Also 255mm = 10" so you had spot on wheel to tire setup. At 9", 225mm is where my rim and tire width are equal , i may consider that also because it looked good on your setup.

I like those rims, clean and simple. It would be a nice additional to make the car look more modern. :slight_smile:

Also, what are your thoughts on these RS7 OEM 20in wheels? Disregard the price… I’m sure you can find lower.

Thanks for the feedback, those wheels look great I prefer the top double spoke option.
If I were in your shoes I’d look for a light weight after market option ~ 20X10 et35 to be flushed with fenders. You will probably need a slight camber and roll all four corners to guarantee no rubbing.

I was looking at aftermarket wheels when I saw this OEM NIB set available.

Front has zero camber adjustment, so that’s just stock alignment. Rear I just adjusted it slightly, but no idea what the actually degree is. It’s not super aggressive, the rear you have more room forsure.

a 20x9et35 will sit pretty flush and give you enough room i’m sure. I’ll take pics of the 18x8.5et35 I have on the car now tonight and post them.
