The 4G Audi A7 Quattro is one of the more compelling platforms in the executive car segment: a five-door liftback with genuine fastback proportions, quattro all-wheel drive across the board, and a chassis shared with the C7 A6 that gives it a wide, well-documented aftermarket base. Introduced to the US market for the 2012 model year, this generation ran through 2018 and received a meaningful facelift for 2015 that brought updated lighting, revised styling, and improved infotainment. Engine options cover a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder, a 3.0L supercharged V6 gasoline engine, and a 3.0L TDI diesel, giving buyers a range of powertrains under the same body. The sloping roofline and wide stance make it a natural candidate for a dialed wheel and tire setup, and the air suspension option on certain trims opens the door to a genuinely adjustable ride height. Trims range from the base model on 18-inch wheels up through Competition and Prestige specs on 20s, so the aftermarket starting point varies depending on what you're working with.
Running the factory suspension, the A7 Quattro is already a well-sorted platform. Most builders on stock suspension run 20-inch wheels, with the typical offset landing around +28, and tires in the 265/35R20 to 285/35R20 range. The factory setup almost always bolts on clean with no rubbing reported. It's a solid starting point for a clean, daily-driven look before committing to a drop.
A set of lowering springs drops the ride height and tightens the stance without the complexity of a full coilover setup. On the A7, springs bring the car closer to the ground and reduce wheel gap for a cleaner look. Documented builds on lowering springs run 20-inch wheels at offsets around +25 to +30, paired with tires like 245/35R20 or 255/35R20. A straightforward upgrade for owners who want a lower stance and a more planted feel on the street.
Coilovers give you full control over ride height and, depending on the setup, damping. On the 4G A7, coilover builds run 20-inch wheels at offsets around +40, paired with tires like 265/35R20, sitting lower and tighter than stock. The adjustability lets you dial in exactly how aggressive the stance gets. For owners who want to fine-tune the drop and keep the car drivable day to day, coilovers are the move.
Air suspension is the top-tier stance option on the A7 Quattro, and it's well-documented in our community. Builders on air run 20-inch wheels most commonly, with the typical offset ranging from around -30 all the way up to +30, giving a wide window to chase flush or aggressive fitment. Tires typically land in the 255/30R20 to 275/35R20 range. The ability to raise the car for daily driving and drop it for shows or photos makes air the go-to for builders who want maximum visual impact without sacrificing practicality.
A cold air intake or high-flow air filter is one of the first bolt-ons most A7 owners reach for. On the 3.0L V6, a cold air intake sharpens throttle response and adds a more pronounced induction sound under hard acceleration. The 2.0L turbo four benefits similarly, with a crisper spool and a more audible intake note. Even a drop-in high-flow filter is a worthwhile starting point if you want to keep the factory airbox in place.
A cat-back exhaust, replacing everything downstream of the catalytic converter while leaving the cat in place, is the most popular exhaust upgrade on the A7 platform. On the 3.0L V6 gasoline engine, it opens up a deeper, more refined tone that suits the car's character. The 2.0L turbo four gets a sportier, more aggressive note. On the 3.0L TDI diesel, a DPF-back exhaust trims weight and frees up flow behind the filter: the benefit is breathing and reduced backpressure, not a louder note.
The A7 Quattro has a strong catalog of brake upgrades available, including upgraded rotors, performance pads, big brake kits, and full brake kit packages. Larger rotors and performance pads improve pedal feel and reduce fade under repeated hard stops, especially relevant when running larger-than-stock wheels and tires where added rotating mass increases brake load. Beyond brakes, the platform supports air intake accessories, ignition components, coil packs, and fuel system upgrades for owners building a more complete performance package.
The A7's fastback silhouette and wide stance give it a strong visual foundation, and the right lighting and exterior work brings that character forward in a way that's hard to miss.
For the show and stance crowd, headlight upgrades are the headline move on the A7. Projector and LED headlight retrofits sharpen the front-end look and improve output over the factory Xenon units on earlier trims. Sequential turn signals and DRL accent upgrades add a modern, intentional detail to the front and rear. Interior ambient lighting upgrades complement the cabin's existing character and are a popular finishing touch on builds that spend time at shows. For owners who want presence at night, underglow and accent lighting round out the visual package.
On the exterior, paint protection film and clear bra coverage are practical first moves on a car this clean, keeping the front end protected from road debris. Body kit components, aero additions, and trunk lid upgrades are available for owners who want to push the exterior further. Windshield and window upgrades round out the exterior options. Inside, custom floor liners and cargo liners are the most popular starting point, protecting the interior from daily wear. Seat covers and interior trim kits let owners personalize the cabin without touching the factory materials.

It depends on your goal. Owners chasing stance usually start with suspension, whether that's lowering springs, coilovers, or an air suspension kit, then pair the drop with a wheel and tire setup that suits the new ride height. Builders focused on performance often start with an intake or exhaust first. There's no single right order: start with the category that matters most to you and build from there.
Yes. Get pre-approved before you start building your cart so you know your budget going in. Pre-approval is fast and doesn't lock you into anything. Once you know what you're working with, you can put together the full build without second-guessing the spend. Financing options are available across wheels and tires, suspension, and performance parts.
Our fitment team knows the 4G A7 platform and can help you dial in the right wheel and tire combo for your suspension setup, whether you're on stock height, coilovers, or air. For install questions, we can walk you through what a coilover swap or air kit install involves, what to expect, and what to verify before you bolt anything on. Real support from people who know the platform.
Our Customer Gallery has real A7 Quattro builds from owners who've run these setups on this exact platform. You're not guessing at fitment: you're seeing what our customers actually run, at what offset, on what suspension. Combine that with verified fitment data, a team that answers real questions, and wheel and tire packages that ship mounted and balanced, ready to bolt on, and the build process is a lot less stressful.
