Finally pulled the trigger on a Q5...
Discussion
Q5 3.0tdis have fairly large, non branded 4 pot Brembo calipers so I'd guess 19's are the smallest wheels you'll get on them, possibly 18's but I doubt it with those brakes. If you look at the tyre label which will either be on the drivers door or fuel filler it will say what tyre sizes are correct. Correct tyre size would be 235/55 19.

ThanksI'll have to investigate further.
I know that with our A6, the smallest wheels were 17" as it was the 3.0Tdi too.

Depends what calipers they are.They are either 18z or 17z.
18s will fit over 18z. (clue is in the name )

After 5 and a bit years of A6 Ownership, we've just traded it for a 3.0TDi Q5.
So why didn't you put this in your thread title?Instead of the wker speak.
In reality, I asked around about Q5s over a year ago. And we've had them in our sights ever since. It's just a phrase. Get over it.

Thanks for the sensible comment.They are either 18z or 17z.

Do the calipers have this info stamped anywhere you can see without removing wheels?
(I'm also going to assume that my replacement A6 wheels (17") wouldn't fit if they had tyres to make them the correct rolling radius?)

See if you can find a part number on the back of the caliper.
Otherwise get a clear photo of your caliper and I'll tell you.
Ignore the tts.
Thanks for this. We don’t pick it up until Saturday, so i’ll do it then. It’s possible the dealer will know... but it’s second hand and while they’re an Audi specialist, they might not have that knowledge. Otherwise get a clear photo of your caliper and I'll tell you.
Ignore the tts.
