Here's a list of tires that are a close match for you:

Tire size Speedo reading at 65MPH
145/80 16 65.4
155/75 16 65.5
165/70 16 65.3
175/65 16 64.9
185/60 16 64.4
195/60 16 65.6
205/55 16 64.7
225/50 16 64.7
255/45 16 65.1
285/40 16 65.0
325/35 16 64.9

This table is calculated from a little program I wrote, so I don't know which would fit or not, or if all these sizes are available. But at least any of these sizes won't mess up the speedo too bad. Hope this helps.

Just so you know, 205/55R16 is the 16" size that Audi uses on the A4 (ie 2.8 & Sport Pkg)
