Default Wheels: 19" or 20" .........
I am debating on 19" or 20" wheels.
A. I do not want to roll my fenders or rub
B. Performance is still a factor
C. Lowering my car on 19" vs. 20" is another consideration.

Pictures and comments would be of much appreciation. Thanks in advance.

Default 19" for sure. I wouldn't mess with 20's. Rougher ride, more likely to bend. . .
19" is plenty of wheel. . .

I have 19's and lowered and trust me a 20" would be too snug...

Default 20's are too much for the B6, It has been done on the A4 and a few have switched down to 19's
so they could lower the car. It was just too much trouble with 20's.

Should I go with 19x8.5" all around or make
the back wider?

This looks wider in the back.
