Stuff happens. Had a RR shock die on 2018 A5SB;

and that's irrelevant to your coil spring failure. FWIW, the pics don't indicate to me a spring broken, but I don't see a crack or displaced coil. Coil springs are notorious for failure due to...

Section width on 275 is 10.83 in therefore no tire stretch.

Recommended wheel width is actually 11” so no tire stretch with 10”. One could argue the 10” wheel with 275mm tread width is counterproductive by lifting the outer edge of the static tire patch. ...

10” is about 254mm and 275 is wider tread, therefore
