Default OEM Wheels - 18" to 19" / 20"

I currently have a 2013 A6 Prestige with 18" wheels. Living in lower New York ( Long Island) we do get snow and even worse... horrible pot holes with last winter being the worst I remember in quite awhile. For this reason I plan on keeping the 18" wheels as my winter combination and placing winter tires on them. I would get a second set for April though November of 19/20" wheels.

I have been looking for 19" or 20" OEM A6 wheels such as these of eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-GENUINE-...-/290905825361 and have a question. Will these wheels ( or 20") be a direct attachment or do I need to make any modifications for a fit.

You should not need any modifications to fit 19" or 20" oem wheels. I just changed my car out to the 20" wheels with spacers to make the fitment more flush with the fenders. Mine is lowered.

There are many threads discussing the ride comfort, and 20" wheel strength, on the C7 A6. Several 20" owners have reported issues with pot-holes and damages to their wheels. You might want to upgrade to 19"s only if the holes are that bad.

Go with 20" , anything less than 20's on the A6 look too small IMO.

Good idea TJK - I'm over in northern NJ and ran snows last winter.....saved me a couple of times.

Those are the exact wheels that came on my 2013 A6 with sport suspension. So they should fit your car perfectly as well. If you are not committed to genuine Audi wheels, consider some quality aftermarket wheels, such as from Hartmann. They have a good website where you can input which car you have and it will show you wheels that will fit your car.

why would you lower an A6?

Makes the car look broken and cheap.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Do you feel better about yourself when you talk sh*t? You'll really be upset when you see my car installed with the new air ride system...

Damn, those 19's on eBay are more than the Sport Package, which also comes with sport suspension...
