For those of you running aftermarket 20'' wheels on your E-tron (especially for winter), I’m curious what width and offset you’ve gone with and how it’s working out. I’ve got the OEM 5-spokes (9'' wide with a 38 mm offset), which pair nicely with the 255/50 R20 tires and provide good rim protection. I'm wondering if there’s any benefit to trying a slightly wider setup.

Has anyone here experimented with different widths or offsets on 20'' wheels? I’d love to hear what’s been effective in terms of handling, rim protection, or even if there’s any noticeable impact on range.
 
I know that a 9" width is the most common choice for 20" wheels. A good option would be Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 255/50R20XL tires on 20x0.0 wheels with ET29 offset.
Now, regarding this

I don't know or haven't heard anyone going on a wider setup.

I’ve kept the OEM 9” width with a 38mm offset for a good balance of handling and rim protection. A wider setup might affect range, but could improve grip.
 
The stock tires are a good size, but if you want a beefier look and a little more protection for your rims, you could go a bit wider. Maybe something like 265/45 or even 275/45.
 
The 9inch wide wheels with a 38mm offset are a good starting point especially for winter driving. Some people go wider like 9.5 or 10 inches but then you need to be really careful about the offset to make sure the wheels don;t rub against the car's body. Wider tires will give you better grip but you'll probably lose a bit of range and protecting your rims becomes a little more difficult. If you're going to stick with 255-width tires, 9.5-inch wide wheels are probably the best option.
