I hate hearing people telling people to Drop the Box, especially since it already scrapes driveways and the like... so badly...
but damn, I hate that rear gap. it really is atrocious.... I see some Tanabe NF210's in my future!

This is my 09 RS6 on stock tires with KONIG BUMP wheels. I like them because the red line is behind the spokes rather than on the rim like so many others. I plan to go to wider tires in about 15K more miles. It is also on NF210 springs and Hotchkis sway bar front & rear. The ride is awesome. The 16's keep the ride smooth, while the springs & sway bars help it grab the road and feel really tight. I LOVE MY B!!! And remember.... if you don't like it, I don't care, cause I LOVE MY B!!!

Yep. I went with the 16's to save money, get a better ride quality, reduce rattles from rough rides, and 16" tires are so much cheaper than 18"-20" tires.
I hope some day I can get some 18's or 19's as a "Show Set" only. But I will always keep the smaller wheels for daily driving.
