Default 7x16 Swing rims on an Allroad?

<center><img src="http://commerce.audiusa.com/catalog/swing.jpg"></center><p>Anyone have any thoughts on using this wheel on an allroad with winter tires? I'm thinking about hanging on to them when I turn in my A4 (leaving the 15" rims with winter rubber), and keeping them for winter treads on the allroad. Not sure if there'll be an offset issue.

Default Don't think they will work.

They might fit the rear but probably won't clear the rotors on the front. Same problem with the S4 and A6 2.7T. I don't have the exact offset figures in front of me but I would say 99% likely that it won't fit.

thanks for the details. Other than the 6.5x16 winter wheels from Audi at $350 a piece, what are folks looking at for winter rims?

cheapest we've found to fit overt the S4 was ATP 5S from TireRack in 16.
