Default without having the sport suspension, will my 16 inch non-sport....

look different from a sport suspension stock 17inch A4 if I only added the stock 17inch wheels? What I'm trying to say is do the sport suspension models sit a little lower filling out the wheel more? If so, what would I need to do to make my 16 non-sport sit,look,perform like a 17inch sport?

If you want less wheel gap you will have to lower your car. Going from a 16 to 17 or any larger rim will not change the distance between the wheel well and tire. The bigger the rim the smaller the wall on the tire. I hope this helps.

Default sport susp. is 20mm lower (about .8 inches) than non-sport. I have 17" sport rims on a non-sport

The answer is yes, you will have a wheel gap that is unbearable.

For 2003 model Audi offers the 17" with the rims of the SS as separate option.
