20" I understand. What is the rim width and offset as well as OEM tire size?

...same specs as the S6 and RS 6, (not the 2.7T, 2.8 and 3.0 before anyone says otherwise).

275 rubber might be a problem though. I know I can fit 265 under there. Currently running 255 but have a ET 30 offset.

Hmmmm?

You would need to run a 255/30 - 20 (Conti Sport2, Pilot Sport2 or PS A/S). The offset should not be a problem as I have seen the 19's(et45) on an A6 2.7T (I know your's is a 4.2 but the suspension clearance should be the same). Just remember that they are 'spensive wheels so definitely be sure before you invest in them.

Thanks again for your help.

I actually have more clearance then the 2.7T but because my fender "flair" are twice as wide as the regular body A6, I worry that the offset would not allow the wheels to stick out close enough to the end of the wider fender body.

Thats why I'm running OEM wheels off the RS 6 currently. Otherwise they would not stick out enough. With 265 rubber and 9.5 inch width of the A8 rim, this might compensate for the shortened offset though (?)

Ive seen the wheels you have in your sig on a GTI before so I know they will "fit" per say, but the offset is the only thing holding me back.

Hell yeah they are expensive, but there are deals about

Thanks again for all of your help on the subject.

Are they A8 OEM wheels? I have a 2004 S4 and I'm looking for some rims like those for the winter.

Thanks,
