Need help with winter wheels/tires

Have the 02 3.0 Quatro with sport package. Thinking of getting 16" wheels for winter. I presume getting the 235/55/16 wheels/tires is not a problem for my car. True?

BTW Some-one's selling a set of 235/55/16's from an A6. Will these work?

Any info appreciated. Thanks.

I think the recommended size is 215/55/16.

yeah, that size isn't optimal on the A4, not to mention a wee bit wide for snow

Of course it's do-able, but if you're buying dedicated winter tires, I'd go more narrow with your 16's.

Winter wheels/tires - Newbie Question

Hey, I'm new here. Looks like a good forum.

I ordered a 2003 Avant with 1.8T, 5-speed and sport package. It should arrive December 1. I plan to use 15" steel wheels and the standard tire size (205/65 R15) for four snow tires. Will Jetta and/or Passat steel wheels fit the Audi if I don't get Audi wheels?

Thanks,
Sean.
