All Black A6 Avant

Hairy Poppins · Apr 23, 2020

Hello all, new here.

Purchased this A6 pre lockdown and have been doing bits and pieces to it since.

Bought a set of wheels today, 10inch all round, i thought, happy days, will get these fitted now and go to work.

PhotoPictureResizer 200422 234543946 crop 3704x1800

But unfortunately the car isnt going very far. (Bit to close to the calipers)

Had an old friend supply me with some spacers today, so all being well she will be rolling again tomorrow.

Thanks for looking
Jonny

Also after seeing Bulldogs post I fitted the rear bumper side splitters, quite like how they sit.

Just waiting on my mud flaps to arrive now

Rear diffuser needs to be black too for the full murdered out look. I like it.

Hairy Poppins · Apr 27, 2020

I agree. Definitely need to get that blacked out too!

I have also ordered a Maxton Design front splitter, so just waiting on it to arrive now.

I'd remove the A6 badge, it'll look cleaner

Hairy Poppins · Apr 28, 2020

Definitely agree. Today I fitted some 5mm hub centric spacers and extended wheel nuts, and my splitter also arrived will be fitting it in due course.

Plans:
- debadge rear
- fit splitter
- colour code the rear diffuser

Thanks for looking

Few bits and pieces done since.

Have taken the A6 badges off the boot & added the Maxton splitter.

Unfortunately have been experiencing some issues with the auto-hold/gearbox. Had to start another thread to see if anyone could help.

Thanks for looking

Looking good. What’s the specs on your wheels & tyres ?

Hairy Poppins · May 10, 2020

Cheers @Bulldog

They're 20" OEM IFG3's, 10" wide all round. The tyres are 255/35/20. I have also had to fit 5mm hub centric spacers on each side.

@Hairy Poppins What’s the offset ?

just about to ask the same question

Hairy Poppins · May 11, 2020

I bought the wheels 2nd hand, was told they came of an A4. So I actually am not aware of the offset lol

Looks good.
Desperately needs lowering though

Hairy Poppins · May 11, 2020

I agree @CHEZ. Will hopefully be done before the years out.

for info, it should be stamped on the rear of the spokes.

Hairy Poppins · May 11, 2020

I'll see if I can get the details off them and let use know

Little tip.
If when you remove them and look behind spokes, and the stamp is faint because of refurbishment or paint build up making it. Illegible, squeeze blue tac over the lettering and look at the impression it's made in it.
From my experience generic A5 aftermarket wheels are normally (but not always) E.T. 35.
