Default Bigger tire question

can I put 265/35/20 in p zeros on my stock 20s on a 2013 s6? Can get a good deal and wonder if the slightly wider tire will be an issue.

They will fit. It's only 3/8" wider.

I went 10 mm over on my A7 with no problems. They were $150 less than the OEM size.

I'm moving to 265's also in a few weeks. I talked to my wheel supplier and he was not concerned about 265...he did say 275's could be an issue on full wheel lock turns.

A 275 tire would stick out both sides 10 mm more than the 255. Turn your wheels full lock and see if you're getting close.

A tire that is wider is also taller. With this aspect ratio, each 10 mm increase adds .07 mph to the actual speed when the speedometer reads 60 mph.

According to the 2018 order guide, 2018 S6 offeres optional 21" RS wheels with 275/30 summer tires.
When I crossed referenced with the German site, the same optional wheels were mated with 265 tires.
Either Audi figures 275 is not an issue for the S6 or the 2018 order guide has a typo.
