Been looking for rims recently and i dont think these look that bad...i posted a link with a pretty good picture...

Not sure on what wheel and tire size to get...dont wanna upgrade the suspension. I was planing on staying with 18in. with a wider tire. Do u know if an 18x9.5 will fit and if yes can 275/35 fit without rubbing. The other alternative was 18x9 with 265/35....

Any responses will be helpful

These seem to be the favorite for a few other RS6 owners. Here's some pix.

This is actually my old A6 2.7T with 18" BBS RXII. (235mm)

Many tuners have fitted 275mm width, I guess a spacer is needed.
Tirerack should know.

I guess it is possible since that rs6 has them...

Anyone know if 18x9.5 bbs rs-gt rims will fit on a rs6 or would it be better off to stay with 18x9?? what is the max tire sizes for the different rims (width and thickness)..

Do you people think the conversion kit on the front rims will be less safe than a rim that fits without any kits?

Lastly, should i just not bother getting these rims even though they catch my eye..

Also, any places in new york or close by that will put them on for you.
