My car came on 19s and in process of switching to C7 RS6 20s with 275/30s. Before I commit further by buying the tyres (I already have the wheels) has anyone had issues with bent wheels with the lower profile on 2Os?
And, I see the tyre pressures are around 6psi higher for the 20s which, with less rubber, must have quite an effect on ride quaility. Anyone bothered by the ride of their 20s (I have DRC).
Sorry to appear picky but the roads in my neck of the woods (rural Glos) are very poor.
Thanks
Mark

No issues at all - Drive Select's suspension setting is in 'Comfort' (I have DRC too) and it's actually pretty good, impressively so. I've had a nervous twitch when I see potholes in the road anyway - we probably all do?

Nope, no regrets. Runs fine and comfy I usually leave the suspension in comfort. Even if the rest is auto or dynamic in individual mode.
Dynamic is hard, fine when pushing on. I suppose on 19’s it will be similar.
No issues with wheels on both sets. But I only have 15k km.

Re: Questions for those of you with 20s.
Dealer handed mine over with tyres at low PSI. Well, probably about what they should be if they were 19"s. Or if the dealer somehow wanted to make the ride feel better than it was...
I needn't have worried. I put the pressures up to the correct amount as per the door panel (42 I think rings a bell!) which seemed pretty high (dealer had them mid-low thirties) but the ride is fine.
I can handle it on Dynamic but its quite firm and my passengers aren't as impressed. Auto or Comfort are perfectly comfortable, and both are better than my old RS6 in whatever the hard setting was there...
