Default S8 21" wheels on S6

Hello All, Im new to the forum. Just picked up a 2014 S6 with 5k on the clock. The car has the black optic package with 20" wheels. prior I had an A8 and I had 21" black optic wheels, however when I sold the car I kept the wheels. Does anyone know if the 21's would fit the S6

Easy way to find out. Go to tire rack. Spec an S8 wheel and notice bolt pattern and offset. Then spec an S6 wheel. If they match, they fit. If not, then they don't.

Never let me down yet.

Those would definitely be statement wheels on a S6. Drove a Model S w 21s, HUGE!

Offset is probably ok. You will come further out roughly 15mm from a S6 with OEM 20s. That still keeps the rim within the guard. S6 requires 265/30x21 tyres on OEM wheels, vs 265/35 for S8. So if S8 wheels still have S8 tyres, you will be too high. May or may not be an issue for you.

Thanks for your response. I tend to agree that the 21" set up from the S8 may to tall, as I did place one S8 wheel in from the the 20" S6 wheel and its substantially taller. Just figured I was going to see how the car looks possibly making it more aggressive, considering I have them sitting at my house with 600 miles on them

They'll fit for sure but you'll need to go to a 30 series tire. They'll look killer!!!

A guy in another forum has 21" A8/S8 wheels on his S6. At least 2 others run 21s on their S6 in that forum.

I have 21" HRE wheels on my S6, 20's look too small on the car. Also if you want to run the S8 wheel and need the proper size tire I have a set of 255/30/21 Pzero that are essentially new, I went to a 275/30 instead.
