Aggressive wheel offset ?
I have a 2012 A6 with the stock 18x8 ET 39 wheels. I am looking at a set of 20x9.5 ET 35 wheels. According to the 1010 calculator I will lose 15mm inner clearance and push out 23mm toward the fender. That's almost a full (.905) inch out.
Anyone know if this will fit and if it does what about with springs? I have eibach pros in the box to go on when the wheels do. Unfortunately, this isn't a situation where I can test fit the wheels because they are located in another state.
Thanks!

I just purchased those exact A7 wheels, 20 x 9. I have a '14 A6 Quattro, 3.0, that came stock with 18's. The 20" wheels should be here in a couple days, and purchasing tires at a local Discount Tire. Discount tire recommended 275/35/R20. Seems that's the stock tire for the A6, but not sure it will fit my car.
You mentioned that you had to cut the lining a bit, as you were getting some rubbing? Where and how much did you have to cut?
If I have rubbing, at least Discount Tire will simply order something else, i.e. I won't be on the hook for the 275's. But seems you made it work???
Also, did you have to re-set computer at all given change in wheel/tire diameter?
