Default Is this wheel ok to run

I bout a set of 16x8 - ET35 with 225-50 Tyres on them for a very good price. They seem to fit on my 96'A4 - FWD, but I just want to be sure that this is ok to run on the car, or can it damage my suspension.

Wheels have sufficient clearence and dont rub, but are right on the edge of sticking out from the bodywork?

Your input is very much appreciated. please help It gives me peace of mind knowing that they are ok or not ok.

Default They should be fine.

Most 17' rims are 8" wide and ET35. Some wheels like the R-28 are 8.5"/ET35 and are fine.
