[V8] replacing wheels

[Ellen O]

Hey Tony:

I hearing some folks say 16X7 and others 16X7.5 - does the tire width matter or can you go either way? The 16X7 offers more choices from what I've seen.

The first was the 15" flat faced, "pie dish" wheel" which was most common in '90 and '91 model years, replaced by the BBS "Mesh" wheel.  The BBS wheels were offered for the V8 (and the 200 20Valve) in 16" size with the same width and same offset.  To my knowledge there were no other wheel variations either standard production or optional purchase offered by Audi for this car.
