V8 Tires, and Local Listers

[Theron J. Bliss]

     1.  I know this has been covered before, but on my 1990 V8 Quattro,
can I fit 255/45-16, or 255/40-17 tires on the rear?  I'd like to put
255's on the rear, and 235's on the front.  Tire Rack recommends going
no larger then 235's all around, but I know Audi put 245's all around in
Europe.  I'd like to go with a deep dish wheel, and like the European
look of wider rear wheels.  I know it's not necessary for traction.  I
can't even chirp my 215's now.  I know I'd have to get the right offset,
I was just wondering if the width would fit.  The diameter is only
.122047244" deviation.

     2.  I was wondering if there were any local listers I don't know
yet.  I'm in south western MA, and I see tons of A4's and S4's, but I've
been noticing quite a few 200's lately.  Anyway, just thought I'd ask.

TIA

BTW, if anyone wants my tire sizing chart, I have it in Excel 2000, and
can get it in Excel '97 as well.  Just e-mail me, and I can send you a
copy.  I'd love to post it to the lists, but I know I'd get reamed for
sending attachments.
