Audi 20” wheels limited steering angle?
I’m considering getting this set of wheels shipped for my A5 Sportback.
https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Audi-A5-S5-G...-/162943045385
But there are a couple of things in the description which concern me.
1. Specifically suitable for cars with production date after wk45/2017... my veh is an early 2017 production.
2. And there seems to be some (software?) change needed to limit the steering angle??
Would anyone have any insights on this? Will I have fitment or rubbing issues?
Suitable for the following (s) vehicle model (s):
• A5 Coupé 2017-2019 (from vehicle production date KW 45/2017)
• A5 Sportback 2017-2019 (from vehicle production date KW 45/2017)
• A5 cabriolet 2017-2019 (from vehicle production date KW 45/2017)
• S5 Coupé 2017-2019 (from vehicle production date KW 45/2017)
• S5 Sportback 2017-2019 (from vehicle production date KW 45/2017)
• S5 cabriolet 2017-2019 (from vehicle production date KW 45/2017)
Caution: The steering angle should be limited in this wheel tire size! The SVM-code is tested only for this product for the shared derivatives and apply! Please note the vehicle documentation and/or the relevant excerpts from the type-approval to the use of the shared wheels. The excerpts from the type-approval must be issued the customer at the time of purchase, because they always carry in the vehicle.

Oh wow .. So there was a manufacturing change in the rear suspension mid 2017.. do you have more information on this?
Guess my main qn is . is it a complete NO to run 20" in my car? Any one else on an early 2017 vehicle with 20"s?
