About This Audi RS6 C7 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Black Audi RS6 C7 sits on a set of 22×10.5-inch Korbach Forged PS1 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Korbach Forged for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of Audi RS6 builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the Black exterior with the Korbach Forged PS1 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Korbach Forged PS1 on the Audi RS6 C7
I walked around this RS6 at the show and the fitment stopped me dead in my tracks. Running a 22x10.5 setup on the C7 platform usually invites chaos, but the execution here is flawless. The ET25 offset pushes these wheels exactly where they need to be to fill those wide fenders.
The Korbach Forged PS1 design clears those massive ceramic calipers with room to spare. Many aftermarket wheels struggle with the aggressive RS6 hub clearance, but these fit like they came straight from the factory. The barrel depth provides a muscular profile that screams performance rather than just flash.
We see a lot of guys trying to shove wide wheels onto this platform, but the 295/25R22 tire choice is the secret sauce. This tire size keeps the overall rolling diameter close to spec while giving the car a serious footprint. You get that meaty look without ballooning the sidewall over the rim edge.
The hub bore sits perfectly flush, eliminating the need for those shaky plastic rings. I checked the inner barrel clearance near the suspension uprights, and everything clears perfectly. There is no contact during full-lock turns, which is a rare win for a car sitting this low.
Fender gap is virtually non-existent without looking like a slammed show queen that cannot drive. The suspension geometry stays within a usable range thanks to the clever wheel geometry. It sits right on the edge of the fender liner, creating a clean, flush look that defines modern German tuning.
You have to be careful with the inner front fender liners on the C7 if you go this wide. I suggest checking the plastic heat shielding if you plan on running a lower drop than this setup. This car clears it, but you are definitely dancing with the edge of the clearance envelope.
The spoke geometry on the PS1 pulls your eye right into the center of the hub. It manages to look both lightweight and brutally strong at the same time. This is how you build an RS6 that commands respect at every red light.
What We Recommend for Audi RS6 C7 Owners
If you own an RS6, do not cheap out on the offset math. I tell every owner to aim for that ET25 to ET30 range if you want a flush stance without major bodywork. Anything more aggressive than ET20 will have you rubbing through your wheel liners in a single afternoon.
Stick to a square setup on the C7 platform for the best handling balance. The Quattro system on these cars hates staggered rolling diameters, so keep it uniform on all four corners. We have tested plenty of setups, and square 10.5-inch widths are the sweet spot for grip.
Don't fall for the trap of massive tire stretch just to fit a wider wheel. You want a 295 width tire to protect your rim and maintain the grip this car actually needs to put down its power. A 25-series sidewall is stiff, so prepare for a slightly sharper ride on rough pavement.
Common mistakes usually involve buying wheels with the wrong hub bore or insufficient brake clearance. Always double-check your build sheet against the Audi OEM specs before you drop the cash. Custom forging, like the Korbachs on this car, removes all that guesswork.
If you want to run spacers, keep them under 5mm to avoid vibration issues at high speeds. Ideally, order your custom forged wheels with the exact backspacing you need so you never touch a spacer. This build proves that bespoke specs always outperform universal off-the-shelf parts.
Style and Build Analysis
The murdered-out aesthetic on this RS6 is pure aggression. Painting the wheels black to match the body makes the entire car look like a single, cohesive weapon. It hides the mechanical complexity of the wheel design, forcing you to focus on the overall silhouette of the machine.
The PS1 design features sharp lines that mimic the aggressive creases in the Audi factory bodywork. It avoids the clutter of too many spokes, keeping the look clean and purposeful. I love how the black finish absorbs light, making the car look like a deep, bottomless void on the asphalt.
Proportions are everything on a wagon this big. The 22-inch diameter fills the arches perfectly, balancing the long roofline of the Avant. Smaller wheels would make the body look bulky, but these wheels make the car feel taut and ready to hunt.
Compared to the brushed or silver wheels we see on other RS6 builds, this black-on-black approach feels more menacing. It demands attention without needing bright colors or flashy polished lips. It is a masterclass in subtlety that screams luxury and power simultaneously.
This car looks like it belongs on the Autobahn at midnight. The road presence is undeniable, creating a profile that looks both faster and more stable than a stock RS6. It proves that you do not need wild aero parts to make a statement if your wheels and stance are perfect.
Why We Love This Build
This RS6 is a total knockout. The way the gloss black paint on the body meets the dark, sinister finish of the Korbach PS1 wheels creates a look of pure, unadulterated speed. Every time the sun hits the curves of the wide fenders, the car looks like it is prowling the street. The fitment is so tight that it feels like the car was carved out of a single block of steel. We love this build because it ignores the trends and focuses on perfect, aggressive execution. If you want your RS6 to turn heads and dominate the road, this is the blueprint you need to follow. Build it once, build it right, and never look back.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Audi RS6 owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 22×10.5-inch wheels fit my Audi RS6? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of Audi RS6 owners run 22×10.5-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
