[urq] Tire size on 17" wheels

[j.koenig]

225-45/17 is the standard size on the B5 S4s, and probably other Audis;
there seem to be plenty of tire choices.
It will be larger diameter than OE, though.

Subject: [urq] Tire size on 17" wheels


Long time lurker here.......thanks for the wealth of information.  I just bought a set of 
17"x8" et 32 wheels and need to equip them with tires for use on the urq.  I'm toying with 
215-40s or 215-45s but I'm open to other suggestions.  I would consider 225-40s but it 
looks like only a couple tires are available in that size.  Are 225-45s a viable size? 
Care to hook a brother up with some knowledge?
Thanks!
