Anyone Has S5 19"x8.5" ET32 Wheels Installed on A6?
Contemplating installing a set of S5 19x8.5 wheels ET32 255/35 R19 tires on Audi A6 Avant 2010. I know that I will need hubcentric rings, but other then that if suspension is stock (non sport) should I be concerned of rubbing? Harsh ride? Does anyone have this setup? Impressions?
Thanks.
Thanks.

i think the a5/s5 wheels are 9 wide n with ET32 most would say the offset is a bit too aggressive for fitment and taste.
Maybe if your lowered and w some neg camber u can pull of a real euro sport look.
1st pic is a pic of hartmann reps 8.5 with ET38 but the OEMS will stick further out
when i see this pic i think it doable but when i look at my car i think its not doable go figure
this pic is rear 8.5 of my ET43 wheels when i look at them i not confident that i could go out much further unless i go lower yes i do mean lower higher makes poked out wheels look so mismatched

u r right most are 8.5 wide...EXCEPT the 19 Peelers.. they r 19x9 ET33 .. i was wrong to assume the same on others... i believe the a5 18in wheels are 8.5 also
ok so given that your wheels are OEM ET32 lets look at the 2nd pic (my wheels)...your wheels will look similar except another 11mm out (0.43in)
i have a set of 10mm spacers but no extended bolts .. when i swap on my winters i am planning to do a test fit
but im sure u will have pics soon
ur suspension is stock? OEM sport? or lowered?
if ur not lowered it should look similar to this

maybe my pic not uploaded? its the same wheels in the 1st pic
the 1st pic has ET38
ur set up will look similar but bigger gap because ur ride height is higher and the the OEM wheels stick out 6mm more

Thanks. I understand all that. My concern is, though, will the rear tires rub?

I just installed these S5 wheels 19x8.5 ET45 with 255/35ZR19 tires on my 2005 A6. Also installed Eibach springs. My car had the non-sport suspension with 17" wheels and 245/45 tires so this new set up has made a HUGE difference visually in the stance of the car. Nice to get rid of the SUV look. Ride is firmer but not too harsh.
