Best tyre and spacer combo for 20" RS5 alloys

Post by Frazz82 » Fri Aug 09, 2024 6:04 pm

What is the best tyre width spacer combo combo to fit 20" rs5 alloys with et29 offset.

Currently have 5mm spacers on the front with 265 tyres but they catch.

What actual size tyres did you fit 265/35/20's? Are you are on coil overs? in theory they are the same width and offset as OEM RS4 9x19 ET29 you should have dropped to 265/30/20's

Morning,

Running 265/30/20 on coilovers. Although they are ET29 they catch the front brakes which I thought was odd as I assume they would fit straight on must be the curve of the spoke on the 20's so had to use 5mm spacers.

Found they were only catching on one of the arch liner screws so I have taken it out and it's give enough clearance to stop the catching.

255/30x20s with 8mm hubcentric spacers would be ideal, and avoid any clearance issues.
