2017 Audi Q7 — square wheel setup on a car that came staggered

DetailOwner225Community StarterApr 4, 20262017 Audi Q7 3.0TSan Diego
2017 Audi Q7 3.0T, about 122,000 miles. I am considering a square wheel/tire setup so I can rotate tires and simplify track spares. Besides clearance, what handling changes should I expect?

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2017 Audi Q7 owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Useful. I'll report back after I verify that on my 2017 Audi Q7. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2017 Audi Q7 in San Diego, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “square wheel setup on a car that,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. That's my plan before I call anyone.

On “square wheel setup on a car that,” that was the fork that mattered for me. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. Climate here is different, so treat that as a local data point. That's my plan before I call anyone.

I parked the 2017 Audi Q7 and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.
