Larger tyre options

[armstrong]

Folks,

1 Does anyone know if I can safely fit a slightly larger tyre tyre to Audi's 6Jx15 alloy wheel other than the recommended 175x60 R15? Perhaps tyres of 185x60 R15 or 195x55 R15 will be ok?

2 Also, I suppose the widest tyre to safely fit on the standard 5.5Jx15 wheel is a 175mm?

Try looking at http://www.fernblatt.com/longhurst/tyre_bible.html (it has a rolling radius calculator) and then check with Audi that the size you choose will not rub the arches.
