Default Lowered on wheel spacers

Who has his/her A7 lowered with wheel spacers on 20"? Any photos? Thinking about 15mm all around on my H&R A7.

i'm on stock sport suspension with 12.5mm spacers on all sides. My wheels are 20x9 ET35 so i believe they're already a couple of mm more aggressive than the stock 20's.
I think you'll do well with 15mm spacers

'16 A7 S-line. I'm on H&R, stock 20s, and ECS 15mm front 20mm rear spacers. The front rubs slightly on hard corners and when going up/down diveways with the steering wheel turned. Steering wheel pointed straight, I can jump speedbumps without rub. The rear only rubs with 3 fat chicks in the back. If I could do it again I would go with their 12.5mm front and 17.5mm rear.

Thanks for the photos. I love those RS6 wheels.

I have the first gen H&R springs and therefore my ride is lower than yours. I really don't want to change the geometry of the suspension too much so I would prefer to have equal thickness all around. I guess 15mm would do it well.

Thanks, the wheels are factory A7 though. Sure looks lower than mine. That's insane. H&R said it would be 0.75in drop. I measured my front bumper from the ground before and after and it was an exact 1.5in drop. I cant imagine what yours is. But if it is lower, 15mm might be too much rub. ECS also has a kit for rent on their site where they ship you different sizes of spacers to try on to find the right size. I found out about this after I received mine lol

Check out how low mine is.





The front wheels are basically tucked in the wheel wells.
