Hey there,

Does anyone know the offset for the OE 21" rim for the SQ5 as well as the 19" and 20" option packages for winters from Audi?

Also, I was wondering what offset range is for the SQ5?

I want to make some winter tire decisions and I have seen lots of conversations speaking to, width, height and so on but rarely is the offset of the rim someone used mentioned. I ask only because I would rather try for the right offset vs spacers after the fact.

Thanks,

Blu

PS Oh forgot to mention that we did get our 2015 SQ5 Daytona Grey, Technik, B&O, Sunshades, 21". It is my wife's car to carry around our new 8 week old baby. Go figure, kid has a nicer car than her dad (for now ). lol :-/

I just purchased a set of 18X8 35ET for my '15 SQ5. I used the tirerack selector to chose the correct wheel and these fit. Barely and without any spacers.

I put some pictures in this post.

Stock offset is ET33 all around. With 255 width tires, you're good down to about ET10 in the rear and ET20 up front. I run spacers that put me at 23 front, 13 rear and there is a little room to push wider. I would not get anything with a higher offset than stock. As far as getting wider tires and worrying about the suspension, I have no idea there but I would bet there is room for at least 295s under our fenders.

JB!!!!!

You are the man!!! Thank you...a picture is worth a 1000 words for sure.

I always find it weird that when I post in these forums I get very little traction.

If I may; do you have ANY rubbing or other issues with ET25? Just so I am clear, the ET25 is a more aggressive stance that has the tires more flush with the fender than the stock ET33?

I am thinking of going with:

Hartmann HRS6-204-GS 18", 19" and 20" Replica Wheels for Audi Q5 and SQ5

ET25

and

in the 255/45/20 size.

It rains a lot where I live and it snows a few times a year. Almost all of the driving we do will be city/hwy with the odd short gravel road once or twice a year. If I where somewhere with a dedicated winter season I would have gone with 19's.

Thoughts? Thanks again for piping up!

This is a Q5. You aren't gonna rub fenders unless you drop it 2 inches or more.
