Default Anyone have any decent pics of a 2.7T A6 fitted with 255/40/17 tyres?

After some research it appears these will fit my euro 2.4 Narrow body A6 (ala the 2.7T)

Before I purchase I want to ensure I don't look like a member of the Carlos Fandango wide wheel club with the rubber poking out about 2-inches from the body

Many thanks

Default 245/40/17 tyres. I'm a bit conservative and didn't want any rub issues.

Default Thanks - Any shots of the car head on and from behind?

...I'd be interested in seeing how they sit in the wells

I wouldn't normally consider 255's, however, I may be able to get a good deal on a set of 4.2 wheels with new 255 tyres.

Default Several on my picture poster. But it's not just the tire. The wheel offset is also key.

Default see inside- side shot, 255/40/17

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/77201/img_4435-01.1.jpg">

no rubs whatsoever. It is still on stock non-sport suspensio, but I have seen enough people riding the same set-up as mine with coilovers and still no issues
