Hello everyone,

I've only had my 2014 A6 allroad for a week or so and I'm still trying to grasp all of the subtle differences between models. I think what I've got is a pre-facelift C7/4G0 3.0 TDI (245)

I've been looking for winter tyre/wheel options (I didn't just think of this when it got cold yesterday, honest!). There are plenty of "will it fit your car" sites selling alloys, but they often seem to contradict each other so I'm not confident of relying on them.

I think I read somewhere that the A6 allroad and A6 have different brake disks/calipers (or did I imagine this?). Can anyone tell me if there is a difference in wheel offset, for example, between the A6 and the A6 allroad. There are a few sets of "genuine Audi A6/C7 winter wheels" available, but if they were supplied for an A6 can I be sure they will fit my allroad?

Thanks
Phil

The all road as far as I know has slightly wider tyres than an a6.
I think the biggest difference is actually between the models/engine combinations. The faster ones have vented discs in the rear and they are bigger than the solid rear discs so some wheels might not fit. Not sure if the offset is different

Phil,
I have same year allroad as you, i got my set from german eBay, £900 for a set of 18 inch original Audi wheels & brand new Dunlop winter tyres. Really simple transaction and they arrived within 5 days. Google chrome is you friend here as it translates the page! From memory you need to search for Audi Allroad 4G wintereiffen. Yo can the filter by size.

Thye do make a massive difference in my view coupled with quattro
Good luck in you search

You can try your luck at the dealers. I got mine last year for £650 with storage bags per wheel. 18s with Dunlop winter tyres. That included the wheel hotel and 2 changes.
