1) The tire shop never should have let you drive away with those fitment issues. That's too much liability for them and a huge risk for the customer. 2) I get that you find "stock" cars boring. However this video illustrates perfectly why sometimes higher end cars are better stock, or at least with mild mods (same size wheels/tires.) As soon as you start changing suspension parts, +1/+2 wheels, throw on spacers, etc. your enjoyment of your car gets sacrificed for aesthetics. The reality is 99% of people that see your car won't care or appreciate the time and money you have invested.
Lowers vehicle to point fenders rub on tires... Complains about wearing through tires. Buys new wheels and tires that are bigger and rub more. Complains about rubbing.
This is a waste of time. Not only can you not put it in dynamic mode but also your ride quality will suffer with such large wheels. No one should lower it this much
I totally agree. It doesn’t even look good, it looks ridiculous. I don’t understand his obsession with lowering his cars and putting spacers on. Wheels should never even be close to be outside the wheel arches, for obvious reasons.
It’s the offset of the wheels not the size… the newer Generation RS7 is a much bigger wider car so wheels probably fit better on it …take the spacers off bro 😎 👍🏽
I love the new wheels on it but I do think it would look better without the spacers and not be sticking out the side so much and looking like a 4wd truck
Sorry Mike love your videos been watching for years, but the tire and wheel thing is stupid. You might just have to get over your look and get a car that’s drivable instead of having the costly cracking wheel popping tires wearing tires out because it’s lowered. It’s just crazy to me.
Time to go back to oem. Car companies spend billions of dollars developing suspensions just so the owner can throw random car parts “at it to make it “better”. That’s never the case
Mike is the kinda "Car Guy" that's more concerned and knowledgeable about aesthetics than the actual mechanical aspects of a vehicle. When People who do know mechanical stuff speak to him it's pretty clear by the look on his face that he's just going to have to take that person's word on it.
25 side profile is going to look weird in my opinion and the ride quality might be ok on air suspension, but you're gonna be living that bent rim life in PA.
Hey Mike, just wanted to say I really appreciate all the content you've been uploading recently. I've been with your channel since your C63S was Hydro locked. Definitely good to see you posting videos so often like back in the day 💯
I’d go back stock. Too many issues and you won’t be happy in the long run. Also you only delayed the purchase of tires for a little while. It didn’t go away. Driving an RS7 (or any other performance vehicle) is going to come with higher costs. You just have to deal with paying for it.
You can tell just looking how it sits that the tires will hit the fenders. When you saw that, why not just take the wheel spacers off so the wheels will tuck in? At least it would be drivable until you get the correct sized spacers.
They look sick imo but I like tight fitment on cars. I find it odd if you’re on stock suspension that it would rub this much just by going up a size in wheels?
The dope that does this stuff to his whip is sick. Keep the spacers in the crib. AEngineers spend thousands of hours to come up with a combination that gives you a great vehicle. Experts change everything for looks and complain.
You literally the reason I picked up a 2018 Audi S7 prestige wid only 36k miles on it got it a month ago I was binge watching your rs7 content initially that’s wat I was going for but couldn’t find one for around the 40k mark without having to many miles on it so I picked up the S7 instead it has the same engine as your rs7 just less HP but honestly don’t feel like I’m compromising for a rs7 it’s already dumb fast stock
Cars are made to specific specifications. Mixing OEM with custom is a mistake but makes for more interesting content and subs. Hopefully, nothing more serious happens with the car but if it does ...more interesting content. These cars are also made by designers who design cars professionally. When people start putting hot wheels type wheels on them somethings not right. 😂
Dude, its been YEARS i dont see your videos... clicked it today and you still have this gimmick of not pressing the buttons of your car, YOU HIT THEM, and it tickles my nerves 😂... its the same with the door handles
If you have to use spacers, the wheels are not suitable for that vehicle, PERIOD! When ordering an aftermarket wheel, you can choose positive or negative offset to match the stock wheels and have proper backset so it sits at the proper depth in the wheel well. The low profile tires are awful. They offer zero shock absorption and beat your suspension to death. These vehicles are engineered in a precision manner. The wheels and tires are carefully chosen to work in conjunction with the vehicle and its different driving and suspension modes. Putting all of that aftermarket shit on it adversely affects the vehicle.
Funny we just had to get a tire today for our Audi because my wife hit a pot hole. Nobody had the correct size so we had to buy a slightly used different size tire and order 4 new ones. 🙄
Mike, your links should be adjustable, just remove them and unscrew them two or three turns and you should be good. Otherwise, in vagcom you can reset the default ride height really easily, one of the benefits of air suspension!
I'm afraid to get a rs7 because of all the bad things ive heard about the turbos blowing up and everything is super expensive to fix and replace when it breaks down.. any thoughts on this?
@@AutoVlogOfficial Ohh waw thanks for the response, I love the v8 sound in the RS7 and I dislike the real wheel drive on the c63 but everywhere I look its owners complaining about the maintenance and the turbos. is it better to get a S7 and tune it to stage 1 or would u suggest getting the rs7? thanks for response
Autovlog Great Video I'm sorry to hear that your Audi RS7 is having a fitment issue and I hope the Stock links will fix the problem if it doesn't I think you should put the Stock wheel maybe Powder Coated to match your RS7 to make em look a bit cooler
Take spacers off .22s are fine for stock suspension. Or put smaller tire size on or roll the fenders .... roll the fenders and I will be better slammed life is way more then jus putting big wide wheels and spacers on lot that goes into riding low
What happened to the Danger Ranger? I love those videos and those are the only videos i watch that you make. I miss that truck. Hope to see more Danger Ranger videos soon.

every car you touch ends up in the same position with tires and rims, at what point does one learn?

i have an airlift performance kit on my audi and i love it aired out
@renrut1613ain’t ez bein sleezy
Why you think his wife left him. She was sick of being married to a child
Sorry, those rep wheels look like something an 18 year old would put on a clapped out Civic.
Those wheels DO NOT look bad lmao. But I agree they don't belong on an RS7
You’d think by now he’d have some knowledge around wheel and tire fitment t. Lmao
Perfect wheels for Pittsburgh pot holes
the garage should of told you this before fitting. does everyone just slap something on a car and hope for the best
Mike, bro.... it looks awful ( to my taste) go back to OEM !!!!!
@@enriqueborunda I agree 100 percent
Yes those oems are some of the best Audi wheels no lie
Getting Ghetto Looking
Puts these “mods” on like he’s drunk, like he has no idea how it happened.
Did you delete the video of you renting a car and trying to destroy the engine??
It’s the offset of the wheels not the size… the newer Generation RS7 is a much bigger wider car so wheels probably fit better on it …take the spacers off bro 😎 👍🏽
Yeah Eddie I’ve always like a more flush fitment…can’t stand the poke 😂
It’s that poke too much man 😱
he cant they need to clear the calipers... thats the problem with some aftermarket wheels... i would go with a smaller tire or a different brand..
I said the same thing
Love the new wheels they look amazing way better than the stick wheels . I hope you get everything figured out . Now all you have to do is a wrap
Maby put it back how it was and all will be fine

Gotta love riding on rubberbands for tires. Not
25 side profile is going to look weird in my opinion and the ride quality might be ok on air suspension, but you're gonna be living that bent rim life in PA.
If front seems to be the main issue and not the back, try 10 or 5mml spacers, might bring it in enough to not touch the fender/liner
I appreciate seeing a lowered car but not for me and my cars. It hurts my soul hearing that on anyones car.
In my opinion 2 finger gap looks the best not too low to cause damage but not too high still looks good
pittsburgh driving life, gotta adjust it or live with it if you love the looks! its a bummer how bad our roads are here.
She's such a beauty. Please keep her out of pain. ❤

Any truck guys cracking up at his 450 dollar tire shock
you need 20x10.5 for rs7 -37 offset, it will give it a nice profile
Ahhh it feels so nice being able to go out and drive my vehicle stock and brake and turn at the same time. Sorry Mike lol😅
You can use vcds to turn off the lowering on the highway
Can also use vcds to adjust thr air suspension height on all four corners
This car is not designed for what you’re trying to get out of it.
You went to Tennessee and no police pullover video? Wow! Good work man!
A reminder why you shouldn't modify ride height and just leave it alone from the factory
Signed merch?? 😂
You can tell just looking how it sits that the tires will hit the fenders. When you saw that, why not just take the wheel spacers off so the wheels will tuck in? At least it would be drivable until you get the correct sized spacers.
He said without spacers it hits the calipers
Why in the world would you do that to your car? What's the point in having a stance like that just to rip the paint of your fenders?
I had to get a special fender liner for my ride when I put spacers on. Mine only rubbed when the wheel was turned during parking.
They look sick imo but I like tight fitment on cars. I find it odd if you’re on stock suspension that it would rub this much just by going up a size in wheels?

Smaller wheels with more tire sidewall is always better for performance cars mike !

People in Texas will fit a whole windmill on anything; they love their cars on big rims lol so you are good- just needs a few adjustments.

The Prius goes past Monanca!!! 😂😂 Look Dope as Mike , I'm sure you will get it soughted.
Yeah I understand. I got 37” tires on my truck it rubs at full turn so not too bad. But still aggravating
Sorry Mike, looks like a Wog Mobile…
Ever since I changed my wheels on my ranger it never rode the same, even with hub centric rings
I'm rocking 20s on my rs7, I wanted to go with 22s but not after seeing this video today lol
Does this not throw your speedo off?
It looks good both the Benz and Audi
It’s a no for me dawg
You have to find the happy medium. I like the look too but you have to be able to use all you're drive modes or its not really driveable.
Come on Mike 😮
Why buy to wide spacers the second try also, makes no sense.. lol if clearance to calipers are to close then its the wrong wheels.
To do modifications to a suspension on any vehicle where you can't even drive it makes absolutely no sense no matter how good it looks
Defo keep the wheels put the stock links back on and go to 25 tyres and that should work 👍
My Audi keeps wearing the inside of the right rear tire I need to figure out why even after it’s had an alignment?
I'm afraid to get a rs7 because of all the bad things ive heard about the turbos blowing up and everything is super expensive to fix and replace when it breaks down.. any thoughts on this?
I have 85K miles on mine and it runs like a beast. No major problems except the ones created by me 😂

@@RaynManFx S7 still has turbos ;)
@@AutoVlogOfficial but smaller ;))
Audi issued a recall for the turbo screens
Skulle det inte hjälpa att valsa skärmkanterna?
Why did you install spacers on those wheels? Are you affiliated with a gang?
Wheels look fine, ignore the haters

Y don’t u bl0w him
you can get a smaller wide tire so it wont rub. and fender roller?
love ur stuff bud
You need even thinner spacers if possible
Save up and get same wheel in 21 inch
Or go back to stock RS7 in my VW opinion
They dont look sick tho. They are hideous looking wheels
before winter are you going to get a truck? or something that can drive in snow and up your hill to your place?
I doubt hub rings will solve your vibration issue, just get cone lug nuts
Quite honestly Mike, I like the looks of it.... You gotta find away around the fitment challenges. Yeah! Stock is boring
Maybee switch to coil overs?
Take spacers off .22s are fine for stock suspension. Or put smaller tire size on or roll the fenders .... roll the fenders and I will be better slammed life is way more then jus putting big wide wheels and spacers on lot that goes into riding low
This is a very enteraining video....
Esp when you got passed by a Prius
Take the spacers off and it wont rub.
Looks very good ... but how does that handle a pot hole ? does he put on winter wheels ?
I wonder what would win between my M8 Competition and your RS7 in a drag race? I think your RS7 is tuned though….
Mike, get an ASC-box and raise and lower your car via an app👍🏻
We love what we love but you've ruined an awesome riding car for very little increased looks appeal imo.
What happened to the Danger Ranger? I love those videos and those are the only videos i watch that you make. I miss that truck. Hope to see more Danger Ranger videos soon.
That looks so good with those wheels.
No spacers
You could have slowed down a little more on that speed bump. More like 5 mph
Nice wheels! But where is your mechanic friend! I forgot his name! Its been a while we dont see him! Missing your mods videos!
more vlogs plz. love the reviews jus bring back vlogs more often
It's almost like Audi know what they're doing, not putting 22s on it
22's is not the problem, offset and how wide the rims are is
Bro has 10/10 taste on car choises but 5/10 on wheel...
The Struggle is Real to be in the 22' s club.
You need to roll them fenders
STUK FÖRE BRUK!!!!
Them wheels are Sick👍👍
It looks like there is less than an inch of suspension travel.
I love your lifestyle geting the best fitment for everycost, but buy proper wheels that have perfect fitment without spacers!
