Default Will they fit?
Hi everyone. I am the proud owner of a 2015 A3 Cabriolet. I am wondering if the wheels and snow tires from my (traded) 2013 VW EOS will fit the A3. The difference is as follows...

EOS tires: 235/45/R17
A3 tires: 225/45/R17

If they do fit, is there any risk to the car on using the EOS tires?
If they don't fit, what's the best way to sell them?

Thanks!

You can use 235/45R17 on the 2015 A3 Cabriolet with no problem.

Thanks, perfect. I will keep them then - although I may not need them. The EOS was awful in snow (and rain). Hoping the A3 Quattro will be safer.
