Being new to Audi and all...
What model of other Audi vehicles wheels will fit our new 2016 SQ5? We have the 21" wheels and my plan was to get some Michelin Pilot all season tires but found out they don't make any for this size of wheel. So next thought it to maybe find someone selling their Audi wheels in the 19" or 20" range and put some good all season tires on those and just swap back and forth.
Also, is there any way to program the driving lights to stay on when the headlights come on, or no? Also what all functions are remembered and tied to the keyless fob when you get into the car. I was under the impression that the seats should change to the setting for that fob when you get into the car and that the driver settings for the drive mode (auto, comfort, dynamic, and individual) are supposed to be remembered as well per the manual.
Did I miss something or read it incorrectly in the manual?

Being that I live in Norman, OK we don't get enough snow to run a winter tire. A good all season tire works very well here. Last year we maybe had 3 snow storms and on all of those occasions the snow was gone by the 3rd day.
I will have to look into Carista it seems. I use HP Tuners on my GM vehicles to program them, but it only works on the ECM and TCM computers. It doesn't allow us to program the BCM (body control module) which is where all of the lighting and non engine/transmission systems are controlled from. We have to send the BCM out for those mods and there is only 1 person I know of that has the GM code for the BCM and can program them, he was a programming engineer for GM which is why he has access to the coding.
Thanks for the info

Also, can anyone tell me the widest tire you can put on the stock 21" wheels? What kind of limitations do you run into because of the ECM in regards to tire size. I am not interested in staggard at all, but maybe something wider.

Another follow up question, found a local person selling their Q5 wheels and tires. They are 235/60-R18, will those fit on the SQ5 and clear the front calipers? for the price it would be great of they did, I could then get some all season tires on the cheap.
