[s-cars] wheel questions

[Theodore Chen]

17x8 and not 17x8.5?  that ain't sweet.

i'm still running 16x8, but the selection of high performance tires in 16" is getting much smaller.  i'd like to run 255/40/17s but 17x8.5" rims would be better for that.  i had read those A6 wheels were 8.5" wide.  are there any audi rims that came in 17x8.5" or even 17x9?
