Earlier, he posted the size on the A5/S5/RS5 page as:

"MJR MF-01 275/30R20 deep concave offset 10.5j"

So, no issues with wheel being too close to the brakes or too close to the suspension on the back side with this setup? Also, what size tires are you running and is it lowered at all?

Zero rubbing. It was test fit prior to full install, then when I switched back to winter set up about a week later we inspected wheel wells for any signs of contact/rubbing and saw nothing (nor on tire shoulders).

Wheels are 20x10, ET29 (bespoke fitment) with 275/30/20 Michelin PS4S rubber and the car is lowered approx 25mm (1-inch) on Abt HAS.

Thanks for the info. Sorry to seem stupid, but what is "bespoke fitment"?
I think I will change my order on my Savini wheels to ET30 to be safe. I don't want the wheels to stick out too far.

Bespoke (custom) simply means a fitment (offset, center bore, PCD, etc) made to customer specification for a specific application (i.e., I chose the 20x10 ET29 fitment for my S5 SB) ... as opposed to an off-the-shelf / mass produced wheel with an offset picked by the manufacturer which is aimed at working on a broader range of vehicles. The latter is why you see so many cast wheels in Audi 5x112 fitment with ET35 offset (for example).

Finally picked up my Sportback after a long 4 month wait. Worth every second. Damn it's beautiful.

@gavin I love this spoiler -- is this the ~ $1300 OEM carbon spoiler which appears to have been dropped by Audi in their carbon pack? I can't find any after-market options for the Sportback, at least as of yet...

Right! is hard to finding the B9 spolier at any after market even in ebay or amazon, only one in Tag Motorsports website but cost you EUR1,000. I found this in famous online shopping platform in China, called”Tao Bao”, only cost me EUR150
