Widest possible tires on a TYP89 sedan?

Actually, the Speedlines off the CQ's are also 15x7".  The sole difference
between the Speedlines that came on the CQ and those from a 90 20v sedan
were the offset.  37mm and 45mm respectively.

You need a 15" speedline alloy from an Audi 80 or 90 which has an
offset of 45mm and is 7" wide. A Speedline from a coupe is 7.5" wide
but only has an offset of 37mm. Alternatively, 16 spoke Ronal alloys
were available in 7x15 and these had an offset of 45mm. These all use a
4x108 bolt pattern.  Hope this is of help

Mike
