[s-cars] wheel package ?

I thought I would hate 18" wheels, especially in Denver on my B5 with H&R
coilovers.  However, I must say, that the ride on 18" Super Leggerras is
hardly discernible from the ride quality on 17" stock B5 rims.

Wow, we even got Bruce to post to the list!

If you're talking about stock brakes, then yes, these wheels will work.

BTW, 225/40 is awfully small and short of a sidewall for the S6- were these
off of a smaller car, like an A4?

The biggest disadvantage that I've found with larger wheels and tires is
weight- more unsprung weight makes it harder to accelerate, makes the ride
quality a lot worse, among other things.
