    16" Wheels ?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Winter is almost here!!I have an extra set of Audi 16" Rims that came with the S4. Think the are of an A4 but I don't know( sig picture). This is just for when the snow is on the ground not for crusing lol. I plan on using 205/50/16 Blizzaks, had them on my old car. This changes the diameter -3.6% so I know the speed will be off. Let me know what you think.

    Anybody ever run 16" on their cars? With what size tires ?

    thanks,
    Dan

    The A4 swing wheels will NOT work with the S4 hp2 calipers. I know this from experience. There are only a few specific 16s that will clear.
