Default 2013 A6 Prestige 17 inch wheels?

Does anyone know if you can go down to 17" wheels on a 2013 prestige? I've got a set of factor 17" wheels from my current 2007 Avant and wanted to use them as my winters.

When I was researching extra wheels for winter tires for my car 17 inch would not clear the calipers so I had to use 18 inch.

I have 17" winter wheels for my TDI, but as you mention the 3.0T requires 18s. The 2.0 can also use 17s.

My 3.0 BiTDI was delivered on 17" wheels and the brakes are at least as big as those of the 3.0T so pretty sure that 17" are possible, though choice (due to the internal "face" of the wheel) may be specific.

I have 17" wheels for my winter tires on my A7. It's tight between the caliper and wheel but they do clear.

Take off a front wheel and test fit them.
