Default Winter tires and rims

Anybody get winter tires or rims for their RS4 yet? Will 17" or 18" rims fit?

17's do not fit - Hartmann has 18's that will fit - and I think Tire Rack does too.

Default just get a second set of stock wheels.......

with Dunlop Winter Sport 3D tires in stock size. Plenty of traction with the least amount of compromise for the 90% of time during the winter when the roads don't actually have snow on them.

Stock wheels are a pain to keep clean...go for a simple design and Dunlop D3's. I bought 18 inch wheels which have a deeper sidewall to provide a bit more "give" on potholed winter roads. I put 5K miles on them in Utah this winter and no problems but it was a mild winter.

Default Hartman has them - I should get a commission

and I think any wheels from TR will not require spacers -do a little research on their website
