I've been looking for replacement wheels for my '95 S6.  Current wheels are OEM 8J x 16, 5 spoke.  It occurred to me that I may be able to use those wheels on my '91 20V as they have winter tires with some usable life left on them.  Seems like 17 x 7.5, 17 x 7 or 16 x 7.5 wheels are much more common than the OEM size for the S6.  I have a couple of questions that I would appreciate some feedback on:
 
1) Will the 8J x 16 wheels running 225/50 R16 tires work on my '91 20V?
 
2) Am I likely to encounter any problems running 16 x 7.5, 17 x 7 or 17 x 7.5 wheels on my S6 (tires.com and tirerack.com list those rim sizes for the S6) ?
 
3) Should I be concerned with wheel offset with any of those rim sizes?  If so, what offsets should I be looking for?
 
4) What tire size(s) should I use with 17" rims to avoid speedometer calibration or clearance problems?
 
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
