[V6-12v] A4 Tire Size Q

[Clive Young]

This is a tough one as I don't know what the dimensions of an A4 are. But
first find out if AUDI provides this as an option, in some cases
manufactures offer these sizes.

The next thing to do would be to go to a reputable wheel/ tire shop and tell
him your Dillema. A good shop wont make you buy them if they rub. But they
will be able to tell anyway.

What you are interested in is the fender on the outside and any suspension
bits on the inside ( sway bar links etc.  )

You are looking at an additional 1.0 cm on the outside and 1.0 cm on the
inside. If you are road testing this set up, make sure you take some
sweeping corners as rubbing tires rarely show up on a straight line , it is
usually under corner load  and banking.

good luck

Clive
