Hi All from across the pond, (London Calling)

Great forum, having searched the Net for an active A7 forum, yours looks to be the best around..

Just put a deposit down on an early A7 (2011) and have loads of questions with regards to light modifications (Wheels / Suspension).. if anyone has advice it would be much appreciated

Having sat in the A7 at the Audi dealership here in the UK, it took seconds to decide i needed one of these in my life.. quick test drive and the deposit changed hands, I would have have opted for an S-Line version had the budget allowed but more that happy with the SE as it has the comfort seats etc..

I have ordered a set of 20x10 Et35 wheels for the car (Zito ZS02), similar / copy of Vossen wheels with a deep concave 5 spoke and plan to lower the car either on Eibach or H&R springs..

My first Question is regarding tyres, should i stay with 265/35/20 (awful roads over here) or move to 275/35/20 (concerned they may rub once lowered)

Cheers Jim

Welcome to the AudiWorld forum.

I have a set of 275/35-20's on the OEM 9 inch wide wheel. The car has the Sport suspension and I haven't heard any rubbing.

thanks Tenspeed,

decided to go for the standard size 265/35/20 as the car will come with 12 months Audi used approved warranty and if there are any issues it saves any hassle of over sized tyres being used as a reason..

1 more week to wait until i pick it up

Cheers Jim

I went with the Conti DWS06 275's because they were $200 USD less than the 265's. Supply and demand I guess. I doubt that they would be any issue in regards to warranty but you never know.

Lucky you can still buy a German automobile in the UK, even after the BREXIT vote -
