Otherwise there could either be wheel well clearance issues or speedometer error. The 225 or 235 represents the width of the tread.
Thanks!

Those are the rims that are the favorite also between the two.

90% sure the wheels and car will look like this as I'm looking at premium plus (based off the order guideline premium plus and prestige standard wheels will be the same). Wheels will have less spokes than pre 2016

tried on audi building a 2016 with optional wheels and there's always some error that doesn't add it. Either way, will say which route is taken, liking what the 2017 has on or aftermarket.

Anyone know the weight of the stock 18 inch rims? I'm trying to compare it to the specs of aftermarket rims.
