215/55-16 tires on type 44Q

[TM]

I don't think that tire/wheel combo will work-

I've fitted 215/55R16 Dunlop SP9000 on A6 2.7T 16x7 ET45 wheels on
my old 5ktq and it worked fine, but pretty close in the back, even on
stock springs and Bilsteins.

Will 215/55-16 tires fit on a 7x16 ET38 wheel on a type 44Q?
I bought a set of used wheels with that dimension (off an A6) and I
wonder if they will fit or rub. I know the circumference is about right,
but I wonder if the tire width and offset will make it rub..

I tried installing a set of 8x17 ET35 BBS RC wheels with 225/45-tires on
my car just for fun, it was great in the front, but it looked like it'd
rub a lot in the rear. I didn't even try to drive the car.. Check out
