Default Just put on 19" S-line wheels

EDIT: I bought day1yun's 20" A6 wheels/tires, so no longer looking for them. And I also sold my 19" A5 S-line wheels/tires on ebay.

I recently installed 19" A5 S-line wheels on my A6. I thought I was going to only need 3mm spacers on the front. I ended up needing 5mm ones for the front. H&R only lists 5mm spacers for the rear of the C7, not the front. Does anybody know why?

Here are some pics! I love this look, but I don't like the idea of 5mm spacers. My car is a non sport package and would look much better lowered. Maybe soon....

i feel like somebody was recently selling, or had a feeler thread, about selling their 20" Sport Package wheels.

they are nice. I should have gotten them, but didnt want to be bothered with Summer tires, (and Pirelli's none the less)

what are you asking for the 19s? have you looked into any Hartmann Replica wheels? they have just about every wheel, except for the C7 line up

Yeah, I posted in that thread. I was looking to spend a little less than that because I just bought the tires for the 19's that I want to sell now.

I don't have a set price. I spent about $900 for the wheels and $1250 for the 5 tires. I know i won't recoup all of that, but hope to get close. If I don't get any buyers soon, I will put them on ebay.

Do you know if the A7 20" wheels fit without spacers on the A6 (C7)? Those seem to be for sale all over on ebay.

I don't want any replicas either, just OEM Audi.

I would buy your wheels if I knew it sooner... I just ordered mine last week and delivered yesterday. I also just ordered both 3mm and 5mm spacers w/ extended lugs now thanks for that info now I know which one will clear the front caliper brakes. ( mine's the S-line Y-spoke 19" w/ Kumho Ecsta 4X tires Ultra-High performance all-season tires. $1600 delivered). Yeah they looks nice and give a more aggressive looks for our A'6's. Why don't you like the idea of 5mm spacers? I'm just wondering

The A7 has similar sized calipers (if not, identical) so it should fit... Somebody on the forum has A7 wheels, when i believe they are replicas

So your wheels were only $900, and they're OEM? not a bad deal

There are a bunch of A7 wheels on ebay, but the tire sizes is a little wider than the A6 (265 vs 255) so your speed-o might be off a little, but the OEM tires were summer

I mainly don't want to use the 5mm spacers because of possible warranty issues. I seem to have bad luck with those types of things. I thought the 3mm spacers would be ok, because it is so thin and barely noticeable. The 5mm's are pushing it for me...

I am also thinking the A7 wheels should fit, but I can't afford to take another chance...was hoping someone on here may have tried a set with the A7 OEM tires.

Yes, I got a great deal from a guy on one of the other Audi forums. He had a 2012 A5 and took them off right away. So, the tires are probably where I will lose some money, but shouldn't be too bad. They were on closeout, so I grabbed the extra one for piece of mind if something happens (my 18" stockers got a nail in them close to the sidewall within the first 1500 miles/can't be repaired).
