Is that the sound of the exhaust that you promised a video of but didn't ever deliver Neil?

Hopefully Borys will oblige

I just got a nice set of 20's and they don't fit
Front is 8.5J ET42 with 255/35 tyre (they don't clear calipers)
Rear is 10J ET45 with 295/30 tyre (they don't clear caliper literally by a hair)
Watch out for that caliper clearance! I had troubles in my Q7 4L when one of my aftermarket wheels broke 2 spokes (one set of the twin 5-spoke)!
The clearence was about 1mm from the front calipers. I only noticed it was broken because at low speed maneuvering I heard a wierd banging noise. Yes, it was hitting the caliper!!!

I wouldn't play around with that...
