I'm studying wheels because I may drop down to 19s from my 20s. I have found a set I like that are actually listed for an S5, but don't show a listing for an A7.

They are 19x10 with 35mm offset and 6.929 back spacing. Ideally I would put a 275/40 tire on it. A slightly bigger tire because I'd prefer not to stretch a 265 on a 10" wheel.

Here is what I'm looking at....

Any thoughts on whether this will fit okay?

Tirerack.com has a wheel fitment guide online. You just need to enter year, make, and model as well as trim level and you can find out what will fit. You could also call tirerack.
When I look, it says it is not available for the A7 so I suspect it will not fit. I remember someone putting S5 19 inch wheels on an A6 C7 and they had to put on spacers to make it work...

I online chatted with Ross at tirerack. He said they do not show any ASA 19 inch wheels for the A7. He showed the widest as 9.5 inches fitting the A7 but I know that I've seen postings with 10 inch wheels all around.

I had planned to call them. Sometimes a wheel won't fit because the spokes may interfere with the calipers so I know not to just go by the size. I really like those wheels and the price is great. It's possible that they don't list them just because they have never tried them on the car (tire rack or the mfr). I've dealt with tire rack for over 30 years and really like them. I appreciate you looking into it with them.

Go 285 or 295 on 19 x 10 wheel.

Changes the OD too much.

I have 20x10 all around on my 2014 a7. They were previously used on my s5. I just needed to add a 5mm spacer up front to clear the calipers

I replaced my stock 20" wheels last spring with 20x9.5 cv7 vossen a. They put 255x35s on them. If they had the 10" wheels they were going to put 285s on them. I went to mr wheels in Hollywood fl who were the local vossen dealers. Could probably check with vossen to see what they recommend for 19" wheels as far as width and tire sizes as well.

I have 22x10.5 with 295s on my A7 and 19x10 with 255(slightly stretched) on my a4

Has anyone had any experience with a lowered A7 running 285/30/30 tires? I want to run that size tire, but I don't want anything rubbing. My A7 doesn't have the sport suspension, so I want to run springs on it to tighten-up the ride a little bit.
