Audi A5 / S5 with custom wheels [real life pictures only]

[rd93140]

Does anyone know exactly what was done to the car above? Spacers? Springs?

I find the gap and wheel offset perfect and wanted to do the same for my car.

Here's a quick summary from a PM I received from A4rce1:

20" Euro S5 wheels (not rs4 actually) w michelin ps2's
20mm spacers
Stasis Coilover system with sway bar
35% tint all the way around
Unitronic Stage 1 Software
Cargraphic Exhaust with AWE Downpipes
Adams Rotors on all 4 corners
Ecode and LED taillight conversion
Rieger Roof Spoiler

I've been talking to Chris at ECS Tuning and 20mm all 'round was exactly what he had recommended.

Thanks a4cab03!

Hey everyone, I just purchased a 2010 S5 and have been looking on the forums. I was going to get either 20x10 all the way around or 20x10 in front and 20x10.5 in back along with a 285/30 tire or a 275/30 tire but wanted to make sure it wouldnt rub. I would not be lowering it as I would keep the ride height stock. Any input on what to go with would be great! Thanks! I wanted to keep all 4 corners the same rolling diameter so I figured Id stay with the same size all the way around.

that looks sick!

Those new 20" CH's looks great! Such a timeless wheel. No lip is the way to go for the A5. Makes the car look so much better.

So Fresh and So Clean. Are you on springs or coilovers ???

Always loved Tommy's S5!

can't get on board with that exhaust alignment.

[adam's rotors]

not alignment...diameter.
needs a pair of 3.5-4" per side...

[Omeletpants]

The wheels on the black car are fabulous. Who makes them and what do they cost?

[rs4-380]

not alignment...diameter.
needs a pair of 3.5-4" per side...

nope, it's the alignment. The tips hang too low as well as stick out too far. Bigger tips that stuck out the same amount would still not sell me.

Personally I'm not a fan when the exhaust is what sticks out furthest from the car, that being said this is not the first a/s5 I have seen with that kind of alignment

[adam's rotors]

your right, i agree with them being a bit far out...but i love the stagger on them.
with that alignment as is down from the valance with a bit wider tip would be perfect.
that existing exhaust just isn't sufficient for the aggressive rear end and large cutouts.

other than that... surprisingly this aftermarket kit i really really like.

Nice pics im thinking of switching my DPE's to the S-10 with the step-lip...to prevent the water vibration...do yours vibrate in the rain? "audistics5"

DPE supposedly figured out a way to bypass the water out of the barrel in heavy rain. I can't comment on how good it is though because honestly it doesn't rain very often here in Los Angeles... and when it does I take out a different car. Your SN sounds familiar... did you have S7's?

[ragazzi_07]

Im part of Audi A5 OC same id.

I beleive the person you are referring to is Stardan or something of that sort.

I used to have the DPE LS5 wheels..it vibrated in rain like you wouldn't beleive :S

How have the past 2 days been in LA? Any vibrations?

[gallego]

WOW....I LOVED IT......wich offset are you using?? i am trying to find some decent wheels here in spain but.......
the only thing i found....ugly wheels on my car....!!
Greetings man you have the nicest A5!!!!

[WhatADream]

Damn, these Black Chrome Varianza T1S look sooooo hot on the S5. Definitely would be my choice of wheel.

thats one nice MasterB8!

[zee007]

Looks great! Are you running Spacers or is that completely stock? I've ordered the same wheels, and have spacers ready to install - but I actually like the look of yours as it is.... :)

So what's with that extra hole in your passenger foglight grille?

[Reinart]

Thats the sensor for the adaptive cruise control.

[VR2V8]

Thats the sensor for the adaptive cruise control.

Interesting. That's a huge hole. I'm glad I didn't get that option. Apparently, it must be one of those options few people opt for. This is the only picture I've seen that had it.

its a big hole because it needs to fit the 5-6 inch radar dome.

^^^^post some high res!

[A4rce1]

Heral, like the wheels! Seriously ditch the tinted tails already. They were never cool.

[tonys510]

Wish I would have gone a little bigger lip up front, but otherwise awesome. Just put em on today! Wheels are 20x10 all the way around and tires are 275/30's all the way around.

Sorry for the links, snapfish wouldnt allow me to post directly.
