RE: 20 inch rims
I have audi 18's on my car for summer tires( i have the same year/model) and by putting the 18's on that took away a lot of the ride. I wouldn't even think of putting 20's on. Im not sure who said in the forum before, but i believe they put it as you might as well take the tires and ride around on the wheels...
Save your self the money from buying a new rim each week after hitting a pot hole.
just food for thought.

I have 19's on my 2.7T. I live in Baltimore and for the most part the roads are not too bad. I do not think my car rides bad at all, but you do still run the risk of bent rims. You surely need to be careful. You will sacrifice some performance and definitely sacrifice ride comfort. There will be times when you have to drive around pot holes. I am a seasoned pro (especially when I am in Baltimore City, terrible roadways)!
Good Luck!

My friend has a 2001 2.7 turbo A6 with H&R sport lowering springs and 20" wheels. The car did not ride bad at all and he never bent a wheel. We drove it to Hollywood from Santa Barbera all the time. Never had one problem. So to actually answer your question (which was can you do it) instead of giving you a narrow minded opinion, YES you can do it.

If you are interested in putting bigger rims on your car you might want to look in the classifieds section there are always people that are selling there 19's and sometimes 20's and you can get a good deal. Jeez I wonder why????
