Default 20" rims on B6?

I know most of you will frown on this, but I would like to do some research before committing. If anyone has 20 inchers, please reply with rims/tires size, pics, and if there are any rubbing issues?

I would also like to see any 19 inchers.......

honestly, 20's start bordering on the unsafe. It becomes way too easy to damage a wheel and risk losing air pressure in a tire. I've only seen about 6 or 7 B6's put twenties on their car, and I've probably looked at near a 1000 B6's. It's going to require too much worry and precaution for a daily driver. And, for a little more expert advice, I went to a high-end wheel/performance shop that specializes in Audi, Porsche, and Ferarri. Now, of course, these guys want their consumers to spend more money. At one point, I half-jokingly said, "so, you think I should put twenties on my B6?" The guy immediately told me 'no way,' and proceeded to say that it I would probably bend my wheel within a week and that it was just unsafe. 19s are perfect, in my opinion. Though they still require you to be careful, they are a bit easier to deal with. A 235/35/19 is low profile enough. A 235/30/20 is way too low profile. Also, unless you want to feel every pebble you roll over in the road, I'd stay away from 20's. Your ride quality will be destroyed.

oh, and I recently ordered 19s for my B6. I'd post pics, but they're not on yet. For some great shots, go to A4mods.com

4rings, thanks for the info

vitamin, what is the width of your rims and tire size? Did you lowered it? If so by how much? Also, what is the purpose for the door blades?

19's are the way to go. Any bigger looks terrible and drives really bad. Waste of a car.
