Default 2016 S6 - any difference in what wheels fit?

Ordering a new S6 Prestige this week (Mythos Black, Sport pac, Black Optic, B & O, etc). Quite jazzed. This is my Bucket List car.

Because I'm going Black Optic with Summer performance tires instead of the Master-of-none all-seasons, I'm grabbing a winter package at Tire Rack. But their configurator only goes up to 2015, and of course they haven't seen a 2016 yet in the flesh to verify continuity of fitments on. Presumably nobody has.

I've read nothing here nor at Audi nor in any of the press suggesting tire and wheel dimensions or those all-important giant front calipers have changed in the 2016 refresh. Have any of you?

They're running a clearance special on what I want, so I'm disinclined to wait till they've had a chance to test the '15 fitments on a '16. Anybody think I'm taking a huge chance by going ahead on the assumption none of that geometry and clearance has changed?

The odds of anything changing are very low.

I second that...I have not read anything, anywhere about anything changing with the brake disk sizes or alterations to the calipers.

My vote is get the set up you want, especially if it's on sale.
