Default Will 245/40/17 Fit a 99.5 A4 with 17" SSR Competition?
I have a dilemma- will 245/40/17 Dunlop 8080e fit my 17" SSR Competitions? The tires I'm looking at are OEM tires off a BMW M-Coupe and he's selling 2 for 90.

FYI, only my front fenders are rolled (by Dynospot Racing) and I'm on KW V1 Coilovers (default height).

Feedback greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Your spedo will be wrong and your gears will be longer.

That's what you need, leadfoot. Make your speedo read 15mph faster than actual

Default I was talking to Cursh. He keeps getting pegged for speeding so having his speedometer off by
15 mph would be good for him.

245/40/17 is closer to stock rolling diameter than 235/40/17.

Default Now I'm confused. Comment above says 245/40/17 will throw off my speedometer
What's the deal?
