Does the speedometer need to be reprogrammed?

I currently have 195's on my car, which seem too small. I think the previous owner put the wrong size tires on... Any advice?

The pictured wheels have a 45mm offsett, and are 16"... stock are 15's, offsett?

Should work like a chirm. The original tires are 205/55/16. I am not sure about the plus-sizes

16" wheels were optional on a 100CS? or just A6's?

No, but the cars are basically identical twins, so the same applies to both.

Default The 15" wheel originaly have 195/65/15. You are replacing with 205/55/16

They have identical outer diameter. As a result you do not need to change anything in the speedo, etc.

I have installed 16" on my A6 and can say only a good things about it.

Default Ha....yep, bought my friends wheels/tires from his 93UrS4 and fits.......

Had to use different lugnuts though. Bought his Millie Cello 17-7.5 with Michelin 225/45/ZR17 SX Pilot Sports with it. His S4 is the same bodystyle (C4) basically except his lip on the wheel well area is a bit more extended outwards.

Default Now a question about 17" wheels. I searched the forum and didn't see.....

....anything definitive about using 17" wheels on a 93 100CSq. I am thinking about 17" x 8" wheels with 235/40R17 tires. According to the offset calculator, the offset should be ET32, but ET35 might work. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with these sizes?

Default I doubt

I have tryed S4 wheels with 225/45/17 tires on 17x7.5 wheels. It worked, but there ~4mm space between ruber and the suspention components. 8" wheels might couse problems.

On top of it I afraid, that 18" wheels will afect wet handling and the driving on the wet road was one of the strongest points of this car. I do not want to sacrifise the strongest point
