Default Anyone know where to find the full lineup of every wheel Audi has recently offered?

I'm looking for a wheel for my car that will support a 285 or even 295 tire (allroad w/ mtm flares).

I know this is not the allroad board, but thought this might be a better place to find an answer to the question.

For RS4 content, I presently have the RS4 wheels on my car, but with my 20mm wider mtm flares, I need a 30mm spacer, and still can only run a 275 tire due to the rim width.

I'd like to figure out what else is out there, even if I have to source it from Europe, Quattro gmbh, etc.

Anyone know where to find an answer to this? (preferably with full size/offset/bolt pattern info)???

Thanks in advance for any help.

(Also looking for a good source for euro-only parts. So far it's been flakes-ville on that front...)

Default Keep in mind.....

If you go too wide in front it will really stress your power steering system. You may even need to install a power steering fluid cooler, which I don't think is readily available for your vehicle and may have to be a generic unit adapted for use on the Allroad...less than ideal. I'm not certain you woud really want more than 275 in front.

Default ETKA...

...has every part for every Audi model produced for all delivery regions (us, europe, apr, mexico, canada, etc.)

No reason you can't find this information there.

Finding the info &amp; sourcing the product are two different problems.

Default I've thought that as well. I have upgraded to the RS6 rack, which uses no boost, so it should be ok.

The RS6 rack doesn't even have a place for the relay that everyone pulls out on the lesser models (to remove the overboosted steering sensation). The RS6 rack is geared shorter, for fewer turns lock to lock.

I think it should be ok. ideally I'd fit 285's if I could find some 10" wheels, but I may settle for 275's, we'll see.

Default What are you looking for Sarge?

OE Accessory catalogs have tons of wheel listings, visit your local dealership for one of those books or to flip through the one they have in the parts dept. We can also run through wheels and specs through the parts catalog. Looking for something wider I assume?

As for European parts, anything you need, just email at <a href="mailto:contact@euro-audi-parts.com?subject=Europrice Inquiry">contact@euro-audi-parts.com</a>.

Cheers,

Default Load rating is not sufficient for his Allroad *edit*

Unfortunately there is nothing Audi or VW OE wide enough to support that width of tire. The only thing VAG would be the Bentley Continental Mulliner 20" wheels.
