Hello I wonder what is the best wheel size for Audi Q5 2.0 T for summer 18 stock 19-20 inch
?thank you

Do not use summer tires--allseason Conti DWS-06. Went from 18" stock wheels to 20" w/ 255/45/20 tires. Piece of cake. Bought 20" Audi takeoff wheels & tires from new 2018 Q5. Perfect fitment-no spacers & fair price. Improved handling & still a good ride.

How about comfort is and performance on 2.0 any loose power on 20 inch wheel or better performance, is more bumper or less ? Is it good deal 1500$ set wheel 20 inch and tire all include ?

Tires must be one of those Miller vs Budweiser arguments... everyone is very dug into their point of view. Here, OP asks about size of wheels to use with a planned summer tire purchase, and the first response he gets is “don’t use summers, use all-seasons.”

As has been stated many times before, there are excellent reasons to run season dedicated tires.

OP: in my opinion, 20 inch wheels is the ideal size to use with summers, for handling and performance. I recommend Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S.

Not worth commenting on.

My 20" wheels have the same circumference as 18" so no problem with the correct tire size as quoted. Have previously commented on ride etc. Yes $1500 is a good deal as long as tires are close to new & you don't have to add freight costs.

Would like to take Q5 2010 model 2T on gravel , can I fit higher profile tyres, by changing from 20 in rim to 16 or 17 inches wheel

I have 2 2016 Q5 2.0. Mine has 20" & my wife's has 19". 18 or 19 is the best all around size. 18 if you want the best ride. My 20" is more sporty & still not uncomfortable. Tires also important. Both our cars have Conti DWS-06 which are a more comfortable than most other brands.

I use 17" wheels and Blizzzak snows in the winter on a 2016 Q5 3.0T. Same outer diameter, so speedometer, etc. are accurate. Summer tires are on the original 19" wheels.

I do not think 16" wheels will clear the brakes. If you go to TIRERACK you can see tires and wheels of various sizes with correct wheel offsets for your car. (No I don't work for them, but have purchased summer and winter tires from them for years. They are good.)
