Default You may be right but I could put on other tires and I know they'd fit...

The Bentley rims are 9" with an et41 and I currently have OEM 19" Sport 5 spokes with et43 with 255 rubber and they fit with a little room to spare.

I had 255 Blizzaks on last winter. Not much curb protection with the narrower tire, curbed one of the wheels right away, so bought two more wheels/tires on ebay for $400... :-)

Default Do you think 255's are the widest with these wheels and the D2...

I have the 255's on my 9"x19" OEM 5 spokes with some room for a little more width. Perhaps a 265 width would work with the et41. I still hope the 275's fit but don't have the time to pull a wheel and try it right now.

I hope you are right! Never having owned the D2, I have no ability to say. I do know they won't fit on an S6!

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/148301/boo_car_021.jpg"></center><p>i have 295/25/22 in the rear but with the front 265s would be the widest to do a complete u-turn with no rubbing issues at all on the d2.
