Default New To Me 2015 A7

So i finally leaped. I'v been loving the A7 since they first came out. There is nothing I do not love about this car. That said I need some help, and trust me when I say, I have searched before asking.

Easy one first. I have the Audi Connect and one month free service. I tried putting in my Tmobile sim card and the bars stay grayed out. Any one have luck with this or has audi caught on? I have tried multiple APN's with no luck and have tried the MMI reset as well. If someone has it set up and "actively" working, please post up pics of the settings.

Harder one, what offset do i need to shop for to get wheels that sit flush with fenders? 20in is fine, I don't want bigger and for sure don't want smaller. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any guidance or advice.

Congrats on the purchase! I have Avant-Garde M510 wheels that are 20x10 ET25 and they fit just about flush.

Thanks. Not lowered, other than the stock sport suspension. The road picture was on one of the corners of the Tail of the Dragon. Bottomed out the left side a couple time on that run, lol

Looks great! Did you do it yourself? If so, did you remove the bumper cover? I'd like to do this, but worried about the adaptive cruise radar alignment getting messed up.

Nope, had body shop do it. The acc is off, I'll drop off today or tomorrow to reconfigure. So once that complains no cruise control, no lane departure, no radar for keeping away. Long weekend, but that's why I had shop do it, the out come sure is sexy. Lol.

That will be a pretty costly repair. There have been report of as much as $2000 to realign the acc system.

Yeah well that would suck for the body shop. They will be responsible for it.
