Hi guys, I am looking to change my alloys on my A7 from the standard 19" s-line to the 20 or 21" wheels.

Now I know a 20" wheels for an A7 are usually 9x20 ET37.

I am actually looking at getting these Rs4/5 wheels for my A7.

However am not sure if they will fit can anyone help? They are

9.0Jx20 ET26

Will they still fit ok and should I still use 265/35/20 tyres?

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks for that mate very helpful links. I haven't committed yet. There are so many choices out there. Not sure what do. Was thinking maybe get my current 19" s-wheels sprayed in black or maybe just go 20 or 21" wheels.

I love those rs4/5 wheels. Think I need to visit a shop and see what goes and then work out the offset and fitment.
 
if its only 11 mm i doubt that would breach the wheel arch, as above its just like adding a spacer.
 
Yea imagine the 11mm would improve the stance. 265/35 tyres should be fine on 9x20, but if they are from the RS5 and come with tyres, they are likely to be 265/30 or even 275/35. Worth checking if tyres are included.

As a side note, I got an A7 courtesy car and it had those clover style wheels on it. Are they 19"? Might be easier to just get those?

Which wheels are those mate. I have seen so many on the A7. As for tyres if I do get the 20" then would go for 265 35 20 as the sets I have seen have no tyres.
 
The ones you have in the picture in your first post are the ones you are after right?

Had them on an A7 I borrowed last year. Not sure wha size they are.

 
Yeah those are the ones but I have not actually seen them in A7 fitment. They are not in the 2013 brochure for when my car was made nor could I see them in the 2015/16 brochure.

I am keeping an eye out incase something good else comes up.

Have a look here:

I believe the ones in the picture you are referring to are 19" fitment only. (19" wheels, Item #5 on Etka page)

If you look at the other wheels listed, it gives you the size spec. I tend to keep to these OEM sizes and alloys when l can (Aftermarket is a minefield unless you know what your doing - so many cheap Chinese copies around)

I'd keep an eye on eBay (got mine from there) There are a few excellent traders, especially from Germany. Just make sure you get the Audi part number to xRef to the OEM parts list.

Good luck!
 
Thanks mate. Been looking around just need to hold out a few more weeks. I did on the weekend pop into an alloy place I used to use years ago when I a lot younger lol.

I found a very nice set of wheels in there that have taken my fancy. It's the whole concave wheel look. I put a few upto the car and thought wow they look the business. Am now going to look at oem and after market and see what comes up in a few weeks.

Cheers
 
For me the 21" rims look right on the A7. I've just taken delivery of mine with 21" rotors and love them.

Lukus, are your 21's 9J or 9.5J and what offset. Pictures would be appreciated. Looking for a winter set, just not decided whether to go forged set or OEM.
