    20x10.5 et30 wheel with 275/30/20 tire on an RS6?

    Is this even possible? I know I am pushing it and it will not be the most confortable ride but I would like to do it if at all possible..I am aware that 19x10s and 20x9s fit, but 20x10.5s?

    At an absolute minimum, you'll need to grind-off the nub/knob from the front aluminum uprights... Once the nub is gone, the outer tie-rod end becomes the limiting inboard geometry----See pics in the original post below:

    I see what you mean...thank you. Would it help to go with 255/35/20, which I realize will stretch the tire but give it a bit more side wall and making it a bit narrower?

    I don't know... Keep in mind, there is significant tire width and sidewall profile variability from not only tire brand, but tire model etc... You are creeping-up on a rim and tire size that can only be determined by test fitting. Good luck!

    I am very doubtful. A 255 would look rather silly on that wide of rim

    C'mon. Don't beat around the bush. Stretched tires on a luxury sport sedan would look STUPID.... Go bastardize a GTI.

    I'd be curious if the 20x10.5 fit and what ET works for that size...although I like the look and ride of my 19x9.5 ET29...

    No gusta. Looks like the fender lip is chewing on the tire.

    I think the Vossen wheels look great on that avant. But they look great in a showcar sort of way. I'd love a set on my car but all four would be bent before I got to work the first day I drove on them. My OEM 19's look live i've been driving on them with no tires.

    Those CV3's would look spectacular on... Lets say a Mercedes E55... But not so much on an rs6. Just not he right style in my opinion...

    Hmmmm. Yes. They would look just right on an e55. Especially the AMG variant.

    Long before your time, but there have been two RS6's on this forum with large aluminum wings on the decklid....
