[s-cars] Tire size for '01 A4

[David Kase]

I would go to Audi World forums and search.  There is a ton of threads 
about tire/wheel size on the B5 S4 forum.  I know the B5 S4 guys 
regularly run 235/40-17 tires on the stock rims.
A set of stock S4 wheels might be a nice upgrade.  I know there is a set 
available right now with all-but-new tires for $500.  I just bought a 
pair of wheels only (needed to be refinished) for $50 each.
Don't forget, when going larger offset is everything.
