Hi guys
Im looking to buy spacers for my RS6 C7 ยด14 on air (Not Dynamic)
I heard rumors that this could be dangerous too the AWD and make the wheels wear faster etc..
Are there any truth to this? And is it any special brand i should look into?

I was running 12mm spacers before changing my wheels with no issues. As long as you go for a reputable tuv tested brand such as H&R or Eibech. The comfortable limit is about 12mm front 15 rear. I went same all round so not to alter the factory from to rear balance but many do 15 on the back.
The wheels I have now are about the same offset as 15mm spacers all round and interestingly it's reduced the torque steer effect the car had on a uneven road on standard setup.

Thank you!
Lucky for me we have a tuning-shop nearby who sells H&R, Ohlins etc
H & R spacers are now installed (12mm front, 15mm rear)
This Sunday im going to a workshop too get a 17mm drop...
Will post some better pics later

I dropped mine 15mm now aswell.. 20mm was just too much for my taste.
Not the best picture. But i get some better ones later on.

hi do you have more pics of your car with the spacers - want to see how they stick out from a side view - i.e looking down the side of the car

Nope! No problem at all.
Now it is lowered even more.
Since my winter tires are smaller (Width) than the summertires..
the wheels do not fill out the wheelarc as good anymore. So iowered it even more... Around 20-22mm lowered now..
