Default Sizing???

I am in the market to purchase some rims for my 03 2.7T A6. How tall and wide can I go without having any clearance problems? I asked the techs at Audi and they said I could do 19's but my tires would have to be rubber bands. Even so, they mentioned it would still rub. My car has the factory sport suspension still installed. Thanks in advance for any info!!

Default 18 is the largest I'd personally go. 19s won't rub with correct width and tire sizing.

Par for the course for Audi techs. They usually have no clue.

Default Stay with the original outer diameter and at or under 235 width and you'll be fine...

2nd on the notion of avoiding 19" wheels. IMO, they look silly and trash your ride. No point other than bling and you'll pay a fortune for tires. Save your money and get some nice H-Sport sway bars.

yah i was just wondering on the thoughts of others. I may just settle with some 18's. I like the look of the larger rim. Not really for the bling factor, but it just looks aggressive to me.
