I have. Bought the factory set. Installed them myself. They help keep snow, ice and grunge off the side off the car. They are quite innocuous, particularly the front pair.

Installation does not involve drilling into any metal parts.

Here you go.

The wheels are 17" with 225/55 tires.







Without mudflaps, and with the factory 18" wheels.

Very Nice Roger. Did you have to remove the wheels to affix? I imagine it would be easer to do so.

I did indeed. I think it would be much more difficult, if not practically impossible, to try to do it with the wheels on the car, particularly the back wheels.

Question, are those wheels normal offset? I rushed to install ET 40 wheels on my allroad and forgot the OE AR spec is 25mm. So, I ordered 15mm 66.65MM centerbore spacers. However, I now know the look when I see it. I'm not sure of the stock A4 offset, but guess 35-38.

My spacers and bolts cost a total of $80 if anyone is interested in where I got them...pm me. I'll have then on in a few days.

imo, I consider 235/55-17 to be the ideal 17" size
