[Biturbos4] can i run 235/40/17's on my 2000S4

[Shaun Blair]

thanks fro the reply,,, im  pretty sure it will be fine for me to do this i just have to keep in mind this will lower my car even more and it will make my ridi stiffer and buppier also.  i think it will do better on the track though.   i dont understand why you had to raise the height when you went wider to the 245/40-17 , from the 235/40-17???
