Brought my car to dealer the other day. Several service advisers came out to look at the wheels on my car. They all know me because of Euro Dleivery. The first thing they said was that the tires were the same size and liked how the rear offset made the rear tire look huge. So when my car goes to the dealer I have no issues with any warranty work since they did all the mods. I spent many hours discussing my intentions of going with a 20" wheel like the german dealers can sell. I have 265/30/20 Dunlops sport maxx. same make and brand as OEM.

FYI I'm thinking about going with 255/30/20 front and 295/25/20 rears. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Is quite simple: Just think about yourself running on sandals as opposed to riding on sneakers.

whats that even mean? I have a S5 with h&r oem springs with 20s and the ride is great, no complaints at all, and my area has the WORST roads in the USA.

There you go again. Wrong information. By moving to a 3 piece wheel you gain strength and lose weight. A 20" is offered by Audi in Europe. I think they know a little about the a5/s5 cars. You stick with works best for you. 20 inch tires do cost a lot to replace the way you say you drive.
