200Q wheels?

[Taka Mizutani]

Stock size is 15x6 ET45. Going to 16 or 17" with the same width and offset
won't be an issue at all.

There are two things to worry about:

-front control arm clearance- with wider wheels, you may experience
interference with the front control arm and the tire- I had this issue
fitting 16x7 ET45 A6 wheels with 215/55R16 tires. I would most likely not
have had that issue if I had 205 width tires, but that isn't always the
case- depends on the tire, it's very close- I used a 5mm spacer to fix the
issue.

-the second issue is rear wheelwell clearance- without flaring the fenders,
it's very hard to put anything much wider than stock in the rear wheelwells.

A4 and A6 wheels in 16x7 or 15x7 are no issue- once you go to a 7.5" or 8"
wide wheel, all bets are off. Same if you deviate a lot from stock offset.
