Hey guys, I just bought a 2007 A4 Quattro and thought i would join in here..I am looking to buy some 19-20 inch wheels and maybe even lower the car a bit. Do i need to lower the car with the 19-20? Will the bigger wheels fill the wheel wells up? What tire sizes are u guys running? what kinda springs and part numbers if u have them? sorry for all the questions folks..btw if anyone has a nice set of wheels for sale please let me know....mike

welcome to the forum Mike.

I am running 19s on my B6. tires are 235/35ZR19. You can fit 20s on an audi but your asking for alot of trouble. With my 19s, 2 days after i bought them, i hit a pothole and blew a tire bad. 20s your going to have even less!! you will probably need to lower the car otherwise you will look like your ready to go offroading. I went the route of springs, its only about a 2 inch drop from stock. others go to coil overs and drop it about 3 inches. Springs cost about $300, coil overs about 1200.

I know thats very brief but i hope that helps. Let me know if you have more spacific questions.

Hi Mike

If u wanna go with 20" rims its not a good idea, only more problems.
Im running 18's on my B6 with 235/40/18 tires and for me is the best set up with 2" lower suspension. I had 19s rims and like how they look but its no comfort, hard drive like wheelbarow depend what kind of tires u using, stiffer or softer sidewall. Other way sometimes 18' rim look like 19'. Anyway if u gonna buy bigger rims then stock think about lower u car 'cause with 18s or 19s you'll get big gap between tire and fender.

Thanks for the replies guys. Does anyone have a few pics of their cars with 19's on it so i can get an idea of what it will look like? Did u guys use a 19 inch tire with the same overall height?

where did u guys buy the lowering springs? local or us?

235/40/18 or 235/35/19 set up is stock width, if u gonna lower u car and u want wider tires u have to play with ET rims or strech tires if not you'll be ok.

Congrats! 20s doesn't sound too good for it, 18s seems to be way to go on the B7, especially if you want to lower it.

will i have to lower the car if i put 19's on it? anyone have pics of their car with a set on deep dish wheels on it?

Is it stock suspension or do you have sports pkg on it?

I am not sure. I know the car has everything except nav. It has the 17 inch wheels on it now..how can i find out what suspension is on it?
