Default 22x10.5 Wheel Fitment

Anyone on here know if a 22x10.5 ET40 will fit a 2006 A8L all around?

I know the rear will be fine. I also know that MTM makes a 21x10.5 ET40 and it fits up front but will a 22 inch wheel also fit?

If anyone knows if it does or doesn't please post you findings here.

I want to jump on a new set of wheels and want to make sure these will fit before having them shipped to me.

I'm interested in knowing as well.

I've seen pictures of a couple D3:s with 22" rims, and they seem to fit.

If a 21x10,5" ET40 fits, a 22" will also fit with the same ET and width, as long as the tires are of correct size.

I run stock "S8" 20" forged rims with 275/40R20 tires, and no issues, they are pretty close to the inner wheel liner at rear, but no rubbing sounds from either front or rear.

So with this, a 275/30R22 tyre should probably be OK.

My tires have a overall diameter of 28,66" and the 275/30R22 would have 28,5", so they will fit.

as you drive around the city you no doubt have seen an '82 Chevy Caprice or the like with 22 inch wheels...not a very pretty sight was it ? 22 inch wheels will look just as incongruous on your A8.

Case in point. No doubt has an additional sub in the trunk as well. Although I doubt it will be blasting out Elvis' "in the ghetto" song

I see a lot of these setups across town.. Ridiculous to say the least. And to think they actually believe it's "cool". It's a shame what they do to luxury cars.
