Default Paging Gary from Tire Rack! A B7 A4 poster said "you are the one" ...

... that could help me with a big decision. I found online a set of 4 Italia S5 wheels (16x6.5, Bolt Pattern 5x112, 16mm offset) with Nokian studded Hakkapeliitta 2 tires (225/60R-16 98T). They were previously mounted on an Allroad. I'm thinking about buying them for my A4 Avant (B7, s-line, titanium), but the seller had concerns about whether or not they'd fit my car.

I posted on the B7 forum and you were listed as the tire stud (sorry for the pun). What say you? If this is a hit, then I'd like to be able to tell the seller ASAP.

Thanks in advance!

Default Whoah.. you didn't mention the 16mm offset on the B7 forum. That's a no go.

allroad has flared fenders and has much lower offset.

Correct, offset too low, these won't work...
