20” aftermarket wheel question
I’m looking to get some 20” rims and studded tires.
My wife has a 2018 prestige with air suspension and 4WS.
Currently I’m looking at Niche Vosso 20x9 with 25mm offset (compared to 33mm stock). Anyone foresee any figment issues with the change in offset?
thanks,
jason

I can't really speak conclusively as to whether that wheel will fit or not, but the specs sound like it should. It really comes down to how quickly the spokes come out towards the outside rim and whether it will clear the brake caliper. Based on Vosso wheel pictures, it looks like it should be ok.
However, you may have a practical concern with that low offset and a 9" wheel. There's a chance you'll get more road debris (especially sand and nasty snow) kicked up along the rocker panels, lower panels of your doors, and sides of your rear fender. Low offset wheels will push out somewhat, and the stock wheels are already pretty far pushed out. Granted, your wheels a slightly narrower than the stock wheels (aren't the stock wheels 9.5"?), but the ET is lower, too. I just ordered 8.5" wheels with the lowest ET I could find in the style I like so I could have the widest possible stance, but I realized afterwards that too wide a stance can also be problematic in a practical sense (more debris on the side of the car, harder to keep it clean, higher potential for scratches and chips, and high likelihood of dirtying clothes on entry and exit from the vehicle).
Good luck with your purchase, and take pictures before & after! Post them here so we can ogle your ride!

Thanks for the quick replies. Up here, you could have 6” wide rims with wheels fully tucked in and your car would still be road grime brown colored for 6 months. I’;l make sure to post up some pictures!

I had my shop mount the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2's on the Hartmann HRS6 replicas on my 2017 Prestige (standard suspension) and they look outstanding! Not sure if you can get those tires studded but unless studs are required, I can't imagine you'd really need them. I live in MN and drive throughout the northern Midwest in field sales, and this setup is unstoppable. Here are the rims:https://www.hartmannwheels.com/audi-wheels#uid-5
