Winter Wheels
Quattrings - or anyone else who has made the move to the A7..
It appears that the wheel sizing on the A7 is the same as the S5.. Can anyone confirm that my 18inch winter wheels for my S5 would be able to transfer over to the A7 without any extra mods?
Thanks

What are the wheel details (offsets and width) and tire size details for the set you own?

While the wheels will fit just fine, no doubt, the tires from the A5 will likely be about 6% too small for the A7. Your speed will read more than actual speed. Here are all the brand new winter tire and wheel packages just announced by Audi for this winter:
http://www.audiusa.com/us/brand/en/o...l_offers.html#
Audi mimics the OEM sizes closely with these packages but with a smaller diameter winter combo. You might want to get larger tires for your A5 wheels or sell the combo and get new set?.
This site does a good job comparing your stock A7 setup with any other combo:

I also suspect that you might find the wheels set in too deeply and spacers might help. The A7 is the wide version of the A6 and the ideal offset should be closer to 20 IMHO.
