I still have time to make the change and don't know if I will regret not getting the 20s. My dealer is telling me the 18s are the safer bet overall. Any advantage/disadvantages? Thanks all

I dealt with Kit Chief at the dealer. He is very honorable and straight forward. A pleasure to do business with. Contact him if you need a new Q5. They just received about 40

18" - Cheaper Tires, Softer Ride
20" - Better Handling, Sportier Look

Since you're in NY you should probably get a set of winter wheels/tires. If that's the case why not go 20" for Spring/Summer/Fall and then get an 18" set for your winter use.
