Can't wait! So you are putting on 275/45/20s correct?

 

Yup - 275/45/20 Yokohama Parada's on new "20 rims which everyone will see tomorrow.

 

Audi Q7 20" wheels come with 275/45/20 tires, just fyi...

Can't wait to see the pictures!

 

Roxboxx where are our pictures at???? We are dying to see them!!!!!!!!!!

 

OK folks - here you go: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ml#post2326043

I just ordered Michelin latitude tour hp in 275/45/20. I was wondering how urgent a realignment will be. - Did you get an alignment at the same time?

 

no alignment - original tires wore evenly and tracked straight. I would realign only if I saw a previous issue. Also, my overall circumference was only changed slightly so I don't expect any issues with caster/camber/ etc.

 

Very NICE !!!!
glad everything came along that nice for you. wish I could change my tires but can't.

Ilie.

 

the Audi Q7 can be ordered here in Europe with different wheels in 20". they look like the BBS wheels and have 10" wide, and ET44 - the Audi code is 4LO 601 025 G - and these are 2 piece rims . The point is that when you order in EXCLUSIVE TRIMM, it will come with these wheels and tires 295/40/20".
I love them, and I hope someday I'll found one to test fit them on my car.

 

First, I would just like to commend you on your choices for your “S”. I am new to this forum and have read most of your posts and viewed your pics. You’ve done some unique work on that buggie and it looks awesome. As for me, I am in the process of buying an 08 CTT which has stock 17” rims (yuck!). I want to upgrade to some 20’s before I even take it home to show mom (the wife that is). I love how your wheels look with the 275/45/20 Yoko’s and want to go with that size tire to stay smooth on the Long Island Distressway. My only concern is with some of the posts that mention a problem with braking caused by the alteration of the collective diameter. How are they working out for you? Are you having a problem with your brakes and is that why you’re changing your pads? Thanks.

 

For me, going from the 18's to 20 was the right thing. I gained noticible handling and ride peformance. It sounds hard to believe but my "18 stockers with the OEM bridgestones rode harder then my 20's. I was debating the 40/45 profile choice for a while, but having seen the 40's in person, I can say that without droping the vehicle, they look out of place (I am glad I went 45). Concerning brakes, I am painting my calipers so I am going to replace the pads and rotors at the same time. Do I need to do this? Hell no, but I have a vision for the final look and therefore i will see it through. As I am going for the update, I am asking about pads as the stock pads throw alot of dust and I am tired of cleaning my new wheels every 2 days.

Concerning your choice - DEF get the rims on before the wife sees the car as you will prob catch the same crap I cought. This is usually " why are you messing with your new car?" question followed by a justification for them spending a few grand on pocketbooks and shoes.

 

Hey BigDog, are those 20x9 or 20x10's that you are riding? If 20 x10's, does it affect whether you can still use 275/45?

 

Thanks for all the detail in this thread. Definitely going for 275/45/20 when we get new tires (very soon).

 

275/45/20 installed. Loving them. Fill up the wheel gap just enough to get rid of any of that "roller-skatey" look I thought it had. I'll try and get pics up soon.

 

Old thread but there was never an answer if specifically 275/55R20 will fit on the Cayenne. It is well known that 265/65R18’s will fit, and their specs are 31.6” diameter, 10.4” width. 275/55R20’s are 31.9” diameter and 10.8” width, so very close. I’m going off road with a 2004 CTT and want every bit of sidewall I can get without changing rims. Looking at the Nitto Terra Grappler G2’s.

Anyone actually try this? Thanks!
