Default New S4 Avant!

Just pulled the plug and bought a new 2008 S4 Avant! Love the V8 - but going to take getting used to the mpg...

Upgraded from an 98 A4, so I have a couple of qu's

Had 17" 5 spoke A8 wheels (MY2000) on the A4, and now thinking about using these wheels as winters...

Will the 17 A8's clear the S4 brakes?

I have 225/45/17's on the wheels right now - will they be ok on the S4?

My guess is yes to both...

Also TPMS...anyone have a better place to purchase these other than dealer? They want about $130 per wheel...

TIA

Jason

Default congrats on the car. tires should be fine. not as wide as the stockers, but that

is probably a good thing for winters.

don't know if the wheels will fit. just test mount one.

Agreed. Test mount two though, one front & one rear.

Default Yep. I guess yer right, but a better assumption is; if the right clears the left will....
