He probably already has that size (since that's OEM size), but he wants more.

Default are you in Europe or something? ...
B5 A4 has always come with at least 205/60/15 tires stock in the US.

Default yes get larger rims.
just increasing the width of your tires will worsen your cornering

Default my 98 lists 195/65/15's... But I think you're right about the newer modles being 205/60/15's
Sears wouldn't even sell me 205/60/15's because they didn't think the'd fit and didn't want any warrenty issues

(don't even make fun of me for going to Sears tire place, they had Dunlop A2 sport's on sale)

Strange. The ModelGuide shows 205/60/15 for all years.
