I'm not sure how helpful this is with the summer wheels, but here's some pics with the 265/40/21's. I've got 265/40/21's on the stock SQ5 wheels for winter as well this year.

Hope that helps,

I am looking to run the 265's on the factory 21's without spacers. I have done some searching and found some good pics on audizine but they run spacers. I do not want to run spacers. I have my 20 inch winter set up I am fixing to put on. So I want to get something installed on the 21's before spring.

Are you running spacers on the winter set up??? Can you please post a pic of the clearance on the front suspension parts Thanks again for the pics.

Is a 10mm increase (technically 5mm on each side of the wheel) going to really cause that many issues on the SQ5? We are talking about a 1/5 of an inch increase on width on the inside of the wheel. I would think that there is plenty of room for that kind of increase.

Sure, I'll snap a picture for you. It's very tight (that said, so is the OEM size when you look at the knuckle near the tire I guess), but zero issues.

No spacers on my winter setup, but I am considering adding a 10mm in the rear.

Tires should be in on Wednesday of this week. Hopefully I can get them on before Christmas. I have a appointment on January 5th for the crazy oil light and I want to get an alignment done at the same time.
