Yah go figure. Not to mention, I had the LMs first. But it's okay, my e-feelings aren't hurt...much.

I respect you as the LM OG.

Martin you're the true OG, who's the copycat Mops guy anyways? LOL

Both your guy's rides look so nice. I want to go 21s now. My bank account hates you guys.

[Jimminez]

No copy cat there. We made the decision together but I just pulled the trigger first. He had 8 sets or something to sell before her ordered them. :)

[colby7]

How much of a wheel poke difference is there on a lowered SQ5/Q5, between one aligned with adjustable control arms, and one without adjustable control arms? For this question lets assume a 29 inch FTG measurement. I'm guessing 10mm or so?

[Mops@Nemesis]

10mm is a solid figure, Colby.

Technically, I am... But we discussed these for a bit. Pretty much came down to me having a BLK set on order, plus chicken shit :P Once I saw yours, I HAD to do it. #myhero #sqlmbros #<3

Hey guys! I have a 2016 Q5 and I'm looking to get some new wheels and tires. I'm going from 18 inch to 20 inch. The wheels I'm looking at are 20 X 8.5 with an offset of 35. Would these work? Would I need spacers? And what size tires should I look for? I'm new to this, I don't know much about rims/tires.
Thanks!

Stock 20" wheels are 20x8.5" ET33, so what you are getting should work. Stock tire size with that is 255/45R20. Do you need spacers? No. Should you run spacers? Will make it look much better would be the general consensus. Can run 15mm all around, no issues, or do 20mm in the rear. What wheel is it by the way?

[sandman00]

Very true

Stalked since forever, time to contribute!
20x9 Niche Essens in satin black.
ET +35, 255/45/20 rubber.
No spacers allowed in Australia!

[K|G]

I still have this set of 22" Vossens for sale. Listing showed no longer available and I just noticed. Anyone on here in need?

They have no blemishes or curbs and look great. Still a good amount of tread left on the tires.

I really want to get these out of my garage and am willing to take a reasonable offer for them.

Yeah but fuck it though. I like my garage full and my bank account empty . One day I'm sure that will change lol

[Louisromer]

So This Happen Last week but Finely got some pictures put together.

I'm running VMR V710 20x10 with a ET of 35mm. The Tire is continental extreme contact dws06 265/45-20.

I have no spacer installed and every thing clears.

The clearance for the front suspension concerned me the most but it looks like I'm all good.

[colby7]

I painted my rear valance over the weekend. Here are the products I used (in order). I color matched the other black optics pieces.

[Mops@Nemesis]

I need to do that badly. How difficult was it to remove the valance?

[colby7]

I didn't remove it so I can't help you with that one. I bought it for the Milltek exhaust you hooked me up with! I think it will look good with the matte black Milltek tips.

Also question for everyone. What is the smallest tire profile us SQ-ers can go without having to worry about anything?

[Mops@Nemesis]
