I have just upgraded from a 2011 TDI sline special ed to a 2020 (MY19) 2.0 TFSI sline.

I have winter wheels for the old Q5 but they foul the brake calliper on the front wheels.

Original spec 5 x 112 ET37 7J 17

The new weel spec is 5 x 112 ET34 7J 17 but finding a set of these wheels in the UK is proving difficult.

tyres are same for both 235/65/17

Has anybody installed old 8R winter alloys on the 2017+ FY variant? with 3mm spacers and longer bolts?

Many thanks!

An update to say I have been running the Q5 with the ET37 offset alloys and 3mm with success.

The shape of the alloy just clears the calliper, but clearance is clearance!38859

Since had the alloys refurbished so all looking great!
