What are the biggest width alloys you can run on a RS6 C5 Avant? Looking at maybe getting a set of 3sdm 0.05s but worried that the 8.5j won't be wide enough to clear the front calipers without spacers but when ever I select the 9.5j width always comes back as this fitment won't fit vehicle? Any help or ideas?

I've got a new non OEM set of wheels to go on mine and there 19x9.5j et35 if that helps and I know of a guy in the America that's putting 20x11 on the rear of he's !!

What wheels did you go for? Yeah, the 3sdm would still be et35 on the 9.5j as well, just concerned that the reason it says they don't fit is because they'll catch something in board? I don't think the extra poke would do anything outboard.

Thesecan't for the life of me remember what there called I'll have to look on the paper work I've had them powder coated in a custom finish.i ask on here before and was told 9.5j with et 35 should be fine there is a "nobbly bit" on the alloy upright but I've ground mine back-there's a few threads on here if you have a look

Where are you looking to buy from? There are a couple of site sponsors on here - Prestige wheels (Birmingham) and Revolution (think Newcastle way). Get in touch with them and they should be able to help you out with fitment.

Shouldn't have different sized wheels front to back on the '6 (unless tyre matching means they have the same overall circumference). It'll screw with the diffs otherwise.

Not to mention the ESP.

That's nice!!! Should have no issues with 9.5j then. Thanks

In this angle i like them...
Theyre a bit like bimotos...and more easy to clean...

They look good on the Porsche. Not sure about the C5. Maybe if they were a bit smaller.

Yeah from that angle they look great.
