Default I believe 16 inch is the minimum size.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, however I have never seen an A6 with anything smaller than 16 inch.

Default They should fit.

A 2.8 should accept 15 inch wheels, as long as the offset and bolt pattern are correct.

16-inch minimum only applies to cars with bigger brakes (2.7T, 4.2).

Default I ran 15 inch Audi steelies on my avant. No problem. Great for winter tires - 195/65/15 ...

...is ideal for winter conditions. 205/60/15 would be the next best.

Default Yes, they fit

<center><img src="http://carpictures.duble.com/Audi/A6%20Sedan%20(1995-1996)/1.jpg"></center><p>The base wheel on the FWD C5 A6 is a 15" wheel. I can't find a pic of it, but it looks like the wheel on this C4 A6.

They'll fit on a 2.8L C5, but not 4.2 or 2.7T w/HP2 calipers.

Default Very rare here in the states, but I have seen a couple with 15" steelies

It seems along the lines of ordering one of these without leather..it's a downgrade option that only a very few cars have. But I have seen it.
