What is the exact size of the tires used on 99.5 A4 2.8L Quattro non sport wheels

My car has 225/60-16 tires on its 5 spokes non sport wheels. From tirerack, it shows 205/55-16 as OEM size. Also, from Audiworld Model Guide, it shows 225/60 R 16 H speed rated all-season radial (205/55 R 16 ZR or WR speed rated high performance radial optional).

So which one is the correct size or best fit? 205 or 225 for the width. Thanks

225/60/16 is nuts.

205/55/16 is stock. If you want to run a wider tire go 225/50/16. I run the stock size.

Somewhere in the middle would be 215/55-16, I'm looking at these for summer smokers, $50 shipped...

205/60-16 is a good size that is priced well if you want a better tire.<ul><li><a href="http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findTireDetail.do?c=5&sw=false&cs=215& pc=11267&rd=16&ar=55">http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findTireDetail.do?c=5&sw=false&cs=215& pc=11267&rd=16&am
