RS5 wheels on my 2011 S5

Got these from a fellow member. Had 20" RS4 wheels which I've already sold.

New Tires are Pirelli pzero's. I had Bridgestone potenza 760's. Pirelli's are a few pounds lighter. Car does few nimbler believe it or not. Thinking of lowering an inch, but coilovers are expensive.

I think you could get away with some lowering springs and do fine. Do you have Drive Select? If so, coilovers are not on the menu unless you want to give up the selectivity. I also am assuming you are getting decent clearance in the wheel wells? Since they are on the RS5 I think it should be a non-issue.
