    Tyre size for 20” alloys

    Yeah its a good site to look at different alloy dimensions. I know they will fit but its whether 35's will rub the arches or not on standard suspension

    Tyre size for 20” alloys

    I'm happy with the ride height and had 19's on my a4 and a5 but on the a6 they look too small. What do you mean by the limit of back breaking? would 35's rub the arches then?

    Tyre size for 20” alloys

    I’ve currently got 19” Le Mans alloys on my A6 Avant. The tyre sizes are 255/35/19. I feel that 20” Peelers would look better and fill the arches more but what type profile should I go for? Should I stick with 35 or go 30?

    'Peeler' Tri 5 Spoke Alloys offset

    Has anyone ever fitted these to an A6 C6? My current 19" 'Le Mans' which came with the car say the offset ET is 48 but I cannot find any 'Peelers' with that offset. Is there such a wheel?

    Lowering Spring advice

    Just an update. I went for H&R 35mm in the end. Absolutely perfect drop for my S-Line and it feels so much better. Thank you everyone for their advice on this. Looking at spacers now, what's everyone using? I was thinking 15mm all round?
