Default nope, not the widest of wheels, but it'll work... just means your sidewall won't sit flush with the
rim

Default no......the stock 16's are only 16x7......wider rims look and perform better......
but there's no functional reason why you can't use a 17x7, provideing that the bolt pattern and offset are correct for an A4.
