Do you have some poke with your Vorsteiners? Also, did you have to run any spacers for brake clearance in the front/rear?
I am looking to run 20x10s (possibly 20x10.5) on 285/30/20 Michelins, but I do not want any poke due to the higher risk of unsightly rock chips.
There's slight poke, probably 5MM or less. Without the spacers, it would have been perfect. Too bad I couldn't clear the front brakes with the 30ET. Had to add 5MM spacers.
I love to see that you can almost fit a set of wheels and tires in the back separately.
Yes, the trunk space is amazing. I think I could have actually fit all 4 tires and rims in the trunk if I took more time to arrange them. I'll try again next time when I get my winter tires

Also, 285s will definitely have some poke. I'm running 275s on 20x10s all around. I guess depends on your offset. I'm at 30 ET before spacers (just the front). Still need to get some for the back so they are not reversed staggered, if there's such a thing.

Ok. I'm looking to run as wide of a tire I can so that there is some notable rim protection. I'm thinking if I run about a +25 offset, I should clear the calipers front and back without spacers.
Hi all. I have a 2018 S5 Sportback on order with the 19" Cavo wheels but I think I'll use the wheels for my winter set after I get some winter tires for them. Can someone confirm if those wheels are 19x8.5 et32?
I just did a quick Photoshop job of the A7 wheels on the S5 SB that I have configured (Daytona Grey). I'm not sure I'm such a fan. What do you guys think?
Sorry for the barrage of messages. I'm now convinced that I'd really like to get myself a set of the 19" "Multispoke design Bi-color wheels" that come as an option on the US-spec'd A5 Sportback (image below). I'm trying to track down an Audi part number so I can start searching forums/ebay, etc. If anyone here has a set they're willing to sell, please PM me.
On a side note, I love these German-spec'd "10-V-Speichen-Design" wheels. Wish we could get these in the US:

There is an A4 version of this wheel (different offset) that is sold as an option wheel in the US, which may curb your enthusiasm.
Yes, 8.5 x 19 ET32, 5/112 PCD, 66.5mm centre bore is the correct fitment. Brake clearance depends on wheel design. B8 S5 wheels fit.
Buying OEM production line wheels as a new part is expensive. Audi do have an accessory part wheel set (meaning they are supplied as an extra wheel) for the A5/S5 which is more cost effective, the Ramus design wheel. Ignore the winter description. Whether Audi USA will bring it in, who knows:
Part number shown on left. If it was to be sold in the US, $ price likely to be similar.
Also, BBS make 8.5 x 19 ET32 fitment (needs correct lugs and centering ring to be provided) in their Performance line series, which will give you, at the very least, similar quality to the OEM wheels used by Audi - they are all made to the same manufacturing and materials certification requirements. Which in Germany are quite strict.
