Default Advice on 17" wheels that will work with UFO brakes/1991 200 20v

I have a set of HUGE 17" x 9" wheels on my 91 200 20v and I am looking for something in the 17 x 7.5 - 8" range to mount a set of existing Michelin Alpin snows. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Default The original wheels on the car were 15's... Any 17 should clear it no problem...

I had Zender 16's on it and there was plenty of clearance...

Default not true. TSW hockenheim do not fit

The UFOs make fitment problematic.

if the 17s fit over the 2000 era S4 brakes, they should fit over the UFOs

Come to think of it... Chris miller has a list of wheels that fit on his page IIRC.

Default The Chris Miller site does not say much about 17" wheels, therefore the question

I was hoping that someone has tried some great 17" wheels. The ones I have are so damn wide that my snows would not be a good fit. I have the stock wheels, but no 15" snows, and a new set of 17" snows, no wheels. I am guessing that I will spend some time at the local Discount tire or Les Schwab to see what will work. Thanks for the info.

Default i had 17" ASA JS5's on that fit over my UFO's just fine.

they are light and cheap at tirerack. i think $159 a piece. not sure of the width (i believe it is on tirerack) but the tire was a 235/45/17.
