Default Suggesting for 20" rims

Hello,

I have 2010 Audi Q5 with the factory 18" rims and would like to upgrade to 20" rims. Can someone recommend rims and tires combinations? Can I have all season tires with 20" rims?

Thanks!

Most likely aftermarket rims because they would be cheaper. Can you suggest a rim and tire combo please?

Yup, hit TireRack.com and take a look there. Great service. I bought a set of Yokohama Parada Spec-X for my Q5's 20's. Really nice all-seasons that do well in all kinds of weather.

If you are buying "Aftermarket" be sure to either get a rim that is hub-centric for the Q5 or if it is not the right size be sure to get hub spacers. Otherwise the wheels will never be properly cenred on the wheels and aside from that not being "good" she'll vibrate like a "pocket-rocket" at 60mph.

I went with VMR wheels and have absolutely no regrets what so ever. If you are going with 18" wheels, your options are limited with VMR, but if you are doing 19" or 20" you will have pleanty of choice and of course the 3 colors too. These guys know their stuff so buy with confidence if you like what they have. Use their 1-800 # to talk with a sales rep (I spoke with Charles) and they can get the exact tire/ wheel combo that is the correct fit for your car.
