Hi All

Newbie here, just sold my 135i coupe and taking delivery of my Q5 sline next week, I am loking at the possibility of either putting 20" rs4 replica wheels on, but not too sure as the car has 19" sline alloys on at present, so that extra inch (on the alloys!) wont make too much difference or may go full hog and gets some 22's, be interested to know your thoughts.

Thanks

going higher than 19" will ruin the pretty good comfort of the car on bad roads, but if your eyes really want to, do it !
it also strongly depends of the quality of the roads you usually use

69 out of 165 cars/users on AW have posted rim size info. So most likely replies will balance out at roughly equal opinions but more people with S-Line chipping in to tell you 20" is fine:-)
Rims cars
18" = 19
19" = 20
20" = 30 (S-Lines account for 26 of these)

I guess your own location and preferences may be the biggest factor.

I wanted to get some 20-21" rims for summers use. Never persued 100% with dealers and third-party companies to find out about sizings of rims and what will actually fit on Q5.

Well ive gone and done it, ordered some rs4 style 22" alloys with pirelli 295/30/22 tyres, roll on Saturday.

So I now have for sale some 19" sline alloys in as new condition with tyres having covered only 3500 miles...
