Tire Fitment Question

[ricematthews]

Taka:
Thanks for the help.
I know 225 and 235 widths are known to fit on 17 inch wheels, but they are
usually a 30-35 mm offset with most aftermarket wheels.  I didn't realize
that the neu-S4 wheels were also 45mm offset - I thought they were 35mm as
well.  A check on the Family Album confirms your statement, so I should be
OK.  Thanks again!
-Mark
