Anyone know if 16" A6 "wineglass" wheels will fit a B7?

I think the brakes on the B7 are quite a bit smaller than the C5 A6, so I'm thinking it shouldn't be a problem. Have to make sure I have winter shoes ready for the new car.

Default Actually the discs on the B7 are larger ... 320mm vs 312mm.

But I would worry about clearing the calipers. On the B7, they look much bigger than the base A6 brakes.

Default Hmm thanks, guess I'll have to go compare them side by side.

and see if there's any way these wheels will fit.

I was under the impression that the A4 calipers were smaller than those on the 2.7t. If they're bigger, I'm going to be dead in the water with these 16" wheels, they barely clear the calipers on my A6.

Default You had wineglass wheels on a 2.7T?

If so, they should fit the B7 A4. I didn't think they'd even fit the 2.7T.

You could always use spacers.

Default Yep. They are a very tight fit over the caliper.

Less than a 1/4" clearance I'd say. If the calipers on the A4 are larger than the 2.7t, I'll be shopping for 17s.

No I don't think they are bigger than the HP2 calipers.
