Default Wheel SIze

I just bought an 08 Q7 with 18" and want to put on 22". Will these fit or are they too large?

I have 22" on mine and they fit just fine. No issues even after lowering my car.

The handling is much better and roadholding is vastly improved.

There is more road noise...however the Q7 is an SUV not a luxury cruise liner!

Default Solve road noise...

... by ticking the "double glazing" option. I hear it really does make for more quiet ride.

Owner's manual says OEM 20" wheels will take 295/40 tires - anyone tried this?

Default feed the before and after into this calculator to get % error

Its pretty cool:-)

Basically as you move into wider tires you reduce the speed error. So moving down to 40 gives error of 4.1% but moving up to 295 form 275 reduces error to 2%

Do you have any pics of your vehicle? How much is it lowered? Are there any rubbing issues? What tire size are you running?

thanks
