Here's a pic of my BBS RK 17 x 8 w/35mm offset and 235/45/17 tires
I think it fills out the well nicely and no rubbing with the Eibach Pro System suspension.

Correct. C5 S6 Avus OEM rims were 17x8. The offset was perfect since it lined up with the wheel arch
Check my picture poster for some pics of them on the car. FWIW- I just picke dup the B7 RS4 replicas from Hartmann, and they don't come out as far as the Avus.

That's a great size for the A6
My old Mille Miglia Emotion SSLs were 17x8. Another favorite of mine, the Ronal Bulldog (R7), is a 17x8 wheel.
Check out Ronal for some options.

M - we're so close, but your tire size is wrong for me and I just got new summers this year. Not
sure I can use what you have to fill my desire for used summer rims for the S6 for these reasons.
