20 inch wheels!
Re: 20 inch wheels!
OK, so, the 20" RS6 C7 wheels will work with ceramics if you either drive an RS4 Allroad or if you are low but have lots of negative camber. Like a man with an orthopaedic shoe, I stand corrected.

Busted. yes I was.
The ceramics I fitted are adapted from a R8 so the calliper has a different offset to the B7 ceramics. But I do have 8mm spacers on at the mo. It would probably be ok with 5-6mm spacers but wanted to be hubcebtric so stuck with the 8mm.
Im not sure what softishman’s are adapted from, do you know? But as they’re 400mm rotors the callipers will sit 10mm further out of the concave then mine hence they may fit easier. Would be interested to know what spacers are on that one too?

Yes, the front are from an S6/S7. Not sure what the rear are from; possibly the same.

Re: 20 inch wheels!
My brakes are from S6/S7.
I have a 4mm spacer behind the disc (and grinded down caliper bracket 0,4mm) do make it fit.
On top of that i will use a special 7mm hubcentric in and outside spacer (to the disc and the wheels). On the pictures i testfitted them with a 10mm spacer. So later ot will bu 3mm further in.
Hope that answers your qeustions?!

Re: 20 inch wheels!
Did you get sorted with a set? I’ve just bought a b7 on 20” rotors that I might do a deal with if I don’t let em go with the car.
Re: 20 inch wheels!
Thanks
But for now I’ve decided to get the existing OEM 19’s powder coated
Just come back from the garage

Re: 20 inch wheels!
hi, I have only just seen this post but all I would advise is NEVER buy 20" rims, I had some on my M3 AND NOW MY RS4 and I cracked 2 rims on the m3 and 3 rims on my rs4. No not due to my driving but the fact our roads are so poor these days its a joke. That and the fact a 20" rim has far slimmer tyre profile which takes the cushion out of the side wall then as soon as you hit a pot hole there is no give and the rim cracks. I still have 20" on my car but if I could turn back the clock I would never add 20" rims again to any car. And I get we all think it will never happen to us, I thought the exact same thing not ever having a puncture in over 25 yrs, but 5 cracked rims since moving up to a 20" says it all really

Re: 20 inch wheels!
I had 20" on my RS4 for years without a single issue. And not have 21s on my RS6 again without issues.

Like Mike - I have 20” wheels on my RS4, and previous set were 20s too.

WRS4 - what wheels were they? You may have just been unlucky. No guarantee that OEM wheels wouldn’t buckle or crack too
