Default I have a winter tires problem~

well i got a set of winter tires from my old cars
and they are 215/60R16
do you think it is an issue to put it in to my cars
I have sport packages
the overall diameter s just about 0.9 inches more than my sport wheels and tires
I hope it will work and i don't have to buy a new set of winter tires

3.3% That's pushing it. Only one way to find out! If you did not have Sport Pack, maybe.

If they fit, you are set for as long as they last. Should be ok.

Default Re: The 16" oem A4 wheels will fit .

Here's my OEM swing wheels with 215/55/16 Dunlop Wintersport M2s for winter. I has not snowed yet so all I can comment on is the dry handling of the M2s. I happy to report that they are pretty quiet and I have not sacrificed much in dry handling. Highly recommended....bring on the snow..

Default Where did you get your swings?

Are you the one who referred me to Blaufergnugen? I couldn't find wheels anywhere on that web site. How much did you pay for 16" swings if you don't mind my asking? Did you buy your tires from another source and have them installed locally? Thanks--

Default Got my swings locally in Toronto from a posting in the AW Classifieds.

The swings were used (C$350 ~US$240). The M2s were from a local store for C$155 ~US$100 +taxes installed.
