Beautiful set up as well..im trying to run on 22x10.5 all around. So depending on the offset i need , i can determine tires size. I know a et30 will fit fine with a 265 30 as vossen and niche have done and which ive gone and personally seen. I want to run a 285 30 , so thinking with a higher offset i might be able to squeeze it in. What offsets are you running on your setup ?
Jesus are there tires on those rims? It looks like the cracks in that driveway could be enough to damage those rims with that incredibly small sidewall.
22" 3 piece "rotor" wheels built by ADV1, designed by RSQuattro
285/30 continental DWS
ignore the michelin pilots in the pics, they were 265/30 and did not fill the wheel well very well. 295/30 pilots had too much rubbing once lowered despite rolling fenders.
The continentals have worked out the best, and the car has been lowered since the pics with the H&R lowering module

Is 285/35/22 deemed to be too chunky sidewall wise as my dealer is having trouble obtaining 285/30’s? I could go with 265/35/22 but unsure if the sidewall will look too small.
Use the tire size comparison tool linked below. In tire size 1 input 275/40R20 and then input what tire size you would like to put on your 22's. The diameter needs to be as close as possible to the diameter of tire size 1. I personally wouldn't want a tire that is over an inch taller like the 285/35R22 is. A 285/30R22 is exactly the right diameter.The 265/35R22 is a much better fit diameter wise than the 285/35R22.
Ive struggled big time to fit them woolfrace 22" alloys on my audi a8 2007 ive bought the wheels of Bentley continental gt owner thats why ive stil got B badge on them
front would not fit at all because it was touching top suspension bars
rear did fit but it was rubbing on Inner Wheel Well Arch Liner so i had to remove boutch of them
ive tried fixing front problem by buying cheap set of 5 mil spacers that was complete waste of time and money because original bolts arent long enought same with centre hubs so forget about buying cheap spacers without hubcentric option on them
as them woolfrace wheels have bigger hub than 57.1 audi
ive found a great hub centric seller in uk that does all sorts of 2 pease hubsentric spacers without f..ing about i went for set of 4 with bolts and locks
it solved the rubbing problem and front and rear wheels look in line
just every time i put my foot down at slow speeds rear wheels are just slightly moving toward a front of a car and because its such a tight fit (see pic) is rubbing but only when you realy trying to race some one of a line i dont realy do it allot as my 4.2 remaped no dpf a8 is so quick there isnt many people on the road thats worth wasting diesel for
I hope that helps for anyone that wants to get 22 inch alloy wheels on the A8 as when I was trying to solve my problem I couldn't really find a lot of help online
