Hi Folks,
i am currently running 17" TT wheels with 205 tyres , lowerd on sportec springs and KW dampers . The ride is much better but am finding a little harsh on bumpy roads .
I am thinking of going back to 16" alloys , just wondering if these TT wheels 16 x 7 ET35 (pic below) will fit and if so what max width tyres i could fit to suit the A2 ?

thanks Mark

16x7? Hmmm. This is wide. You should use 195/45 R16 or wider. (Don't know any wider but will have a look...)

Edit: There are 205/45 R16! And somone had 195/45 on 7,5" wide alloys: (with images) http://www.a2-freun.de/forum/showthread.php?p=593016#post593016

I have fitted 7x16ET30 respectively ET25 (rear) with 205/45R16 tyres and 50 mm of lowering. Any offset between 35 and 25 will be fine.

Such a combo’s a fine tradeoff between tyre width/grip, looks, rim protection, comfort and unsprung weight.
