Thoughts on going from 18’ rims ro 20’ rims

Some background, I’m buying a new set of tires soon and currently hate the look of my oem rims. I saw some beautiful 20’ TTRS carbon forged rims for sale and itching to buy them. However, I’m not sure how the 20’ would affect driving vs the 18’ ones. I also want to get tires with more tread on them since I am living in Utah where it snows a lot and I doubt I’ll be able to do that with bigger 20’ rims.

Any advice or suggestions would be great or if anybody has had experience going from 18’ to 20’ and your experience so far would be awesome. Mostly concerned about winters but I think looks wise it’s a no brainer lol.

Also, any rim shop recommendations would also be greatly appreciated as I am shopping around right now

Been driving with different tread tires. How cooked am I?

So, call me stupid but I just realized that you aren’t supposed to have different treads on your wheels for Quattros. I had a flat tire at around 50k miles and I am now at 67k. I ended up changing one tire out and thought that was good enough. After someone made a comment on this I’ve realized I may have made a costly mistake. I still feel my vehicle drives fine but I’m wondering how badly this will mess up the differentials.

Car has been meticulously maintained otherwise. I even just replaced the transmission and differential fluids. Is there an inspection I can get done to check if my differentials are okay? How should I approach this as I don’t want there to be any more strain being added on the car (obviously going to be changing out all my tires asap).

Drafting at 2.09 need advice. SF + 0.5TEP.

Took Jahmyr at the 1.04.

Debating between taking Herbert, Walker, and Loveland.

On the board still: London, Achane.

Reasoning:

Herbert - Huge upside with McDaniels this season I think. Was still a t10 QB with a terrible O-line. I think easily could be t3 finish this season.

Walker - Insane playoff run. Legs still relatively fresh. True RB1 upside on chiefs. Feels like he’s still undervalued but don’t want to swing too early on him.

Loveland - What can you not love about this guy. Can play anywhere on the field. Huge upside potential but I’m worried about the number of mouths to feed. Could also probably land Fanin in rd3.

Final thoughts:

Am I overthinking this? It’s a tough spot since there’s a ton of QBs this year so maybe taking some in later rounds is the move. What would you guys go with here? Maybe I should just draft London or achane at ADP and not over think this….

Planning to go stage 1 here. Thinking about what mod to get between an intercooler and intake. I’m seeing various claims about intakes being “useless” while some are claiming this is the first thing you must do before a tune.

I’m conflicted about which I should go with. I’m moving to a colder climate where it’ll probably be snowing half the year so not sure if I’ll even need the intercooler?

I also don’t drive crazy. Moderate runs here and there so I feel like the stock intercooler will be fine.

Any thoughts on what I should prioritize here?
