Default Ideal tire size for 17", 7.5 after market wheels????
I am thinking about 245/45/17 (Kumhos), do you guys think that 245 might be too big for the A4.

Nope. Totally wrong size. Sidewall would be too tall. You want 225/45 17 or 235/40 17.

Default 225/45.....highly recommend. I don't think I'll go wider......
235's tramline more, which I'm not too thrilled about.

225's would be plenty wide for a 7.5" wide tire. They look perfect on my 17x8's.
