Recommended Size for Winter Wheels on S3

[beanoir]

Does anybody run winter wheels and tyres on their S3 (in the winter!)? Will a 16" wheel fit?

Cheers

16's fit yes.

A3 Sport wheels are great because they are cheap, and oem+ = win.

Golf V6 4Motion 16's fit over the standard front brakes, I've done it in the past.

Is there any disadvantages running 18's ??

Its all about the tyres tbh.... winter tyres are available for 18's... I have mud and snow tyres on my avus's and they are still 225/45/17's but urinate from a great height on anything in the snow...

Expense on tires!

Budget hard as rock 16's are a LOT cheaper and are pretty good in the snow anyway.
