need new tires, but think i want to change size
<center><img src="http://www.me.com/ro/unhgod/Galleries/100009/photo/web.jpg?ver=12251226640001"></center><p>I currently have ronal r41 rims and 225/45/17 falken ziex ze512 tires on my '98 a4. The tires dont quite wrap all the way around on the rim so i wanted to get them a little wider so that they look a little better but i dont know if they will fit on the rim and not rub on the inside.
Does anyone have a wider tires on the 17in rim on their a4 and know that there is enough space without rubbing or if i should just stick with the size i know fits. Also any tire recommendations would be great. I have looked on tirerack, but haven't done much research. I'm looking for the best buy high performance all season tire.
Thanks for any help

Re: need new tires, but think i want to change size
Different brands could vary in actual sizing as well. I was never a fan of the Falken Ziex. I suppose for the money, you can always take a look at the Kumho SPT, and if you had to have something cheaper (also slightly less performing) you can take a look at the General Exclaim UHPs.
