2000 audi a4 with 17's

[culex3000]

What kind of tires I should buy? The size is what I am asking, because I took the tires from an s4 and put them on my car, they got flat due to the tires being to wide and it was rubbing against the suspension, so it ripped. They were 235/45 and apparently they were too wide. I went to tirerack.com and when i click the 17inch size diameter for my car it tells me i need 225/45. So any help?

I used 225/45/17 on mine. Rs4 reps. No rubbing, on eibach pro-kit and koni shocks with lowered perch (basically a little bit lower than eibach alone). I don't remember the offset/width of the rims, I guess 17x8 et45.

225/45 is the best. i think you can try 235/40 but I dont know how that would work out.

Yep, 225/45-17 is the only size we recommend
