    A7/S7's 21x10.5 rim/tire fitment question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I am going to fit my 2021 S7 (stock air suspension) with a set of wider rim and tire. BBS RI-D RI095 (21x10 et30) seems to be a straight-forward choice, but I am also considering some more aggressive-looking custom-forged alternatives to get more concavity. By doing some research I realize that HRE's flow-formed set of 21x10.5 et35 with 285/30 tires fits the car perfectly, yet I want to decrease the offset as much as possible. The rear clearance is much larger, so I am considering et20, while the front is more likely to rub on a turn, so I would like to go with et30, and 285/30 tires all-around. So, is there any advice about this fitment? Am I going too aggressive, or should I go easy with those BBSs? Thank you for any comment!

    Sounds amazing! Never supposed that the front fender also has this huge clearance.

    Update: Got the BBS set, fitted perfectly with Conti SC7 285/30r21 MGT tires. However, I am still not a fan of the deep rim protection and considering shift to 265/35r21 Michelin PS4s T2 wheels to make the rim and tire flush (like the blue M2). Is it a good idea and how do you think about the current look?
