understood but with Boston roads that is hard. Trying to keep the car as driveable as possible. Unless I went air but honestly not ready to take a project like that on right now.

still wondering if I can go 285/30/20 and not have any running issues. More worried about the inside than the outside...

I have been doing some reading and some folks seem to like to stretch a 275/30/20 on a 10.5" wheel. I am not sure if that is the correct size for an A5. But is 285 too wide?

I know plenty of folks have crammed tons of meat under their A5s, so I am asking for help. Will the Vertini wheels I have fit? If so, will they require a centering ring?
And what would be the recommended tire size to run? 275/30/20? Will that fit without rubbing? Please note suspension is 100% stock and no plans of lowering at the moment.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I just did Eibach prokit on my s5, dropped it 1" front .8" rear, and I can honestly say, it rides as good as stock. if you're not a member, join audizine.com, there is a wheel thread, they discuss and show fitments with 285/30/20, it works, it's just sensitive to offsets..........

offset on wheels is ET30. Do you have a link to the thread?

Hello, I have a 2014 A5 Cabriolet Quattro original wheels with
ALY58912 Audi A5, S5 Wheel Silver Painted #8T0601025CA8Z8 size: 18"x8.5 et29 with 245/40/18.
I replaced with (TSW Bathurst silver #2010BAT255112S72 size: 20"x10" et25) square - all around with 295/30R20. Fitment and stance perfect no spacer/ no suspension mods. Tires & wheels approximately flush with finders, about 8mm under from flush on rear and perfect even on front. You could still add 8mm spacers on rear to be flush on rear. Definitely would not go any wider than 20x10 et 25 with 295/30R20 if you are going square all around and without suspension mods and because you have a Quattro transmission requirements and need to be square diameters on wheel/tire around vehicle. Hope my experience with fitting my A5 helps some folks out there!
