Tyre size

[Arrkon]

What tyres would need to go on some RS4 17's to keep the same/similar rolling circumference as my 16's?

im thinking 205/45/R17?

225/45 is standard fit on TQS and S4's, and is the same diameter as the 205/55r16 tyres fitted to the 16's from factory.

sounds good to me, speedo will be about 0.3% faster at 60mph can live with that, cheers.

Can you correct the % speed differences with in VCDS?

I've noticed on newer cars you tell the speedo if you're running winter tyres or not, so I assume this corrects the speedo for different size tyres.

The speedo is out by more than 0.3% from the factory so why worry?!

5% iirc, but yeah my thoughts exactly

You should have 205/55r16 at the moment, so you want 225/45r17 if you are going with 17's (same size as b5 S4 & 1.8tqs)
