Default I'm not yelling...I'm the ETKA pimp...lol ;o)

And according to ETKA the Aero 6-spoke "pie plate" wheels are 15x6 and the 10-spoke and 5-spoke (sport) wheels are 15x7.

I had a 5-spoke next to a spare Aero wheel I had lying around, and it was wider...although I've never had a 10-spoke, so I can't visually confirm.

How much of this will disappear when the car comes off the blocks? We will see shortly.

Default I know, I know, don't kill the messenger ;-)

he asked about aspect ratio, and got width answers. Just trying to clarify.

Default not sure why you can't find a 205/60-15

but given the choice between 205/65-15 and 205/55-15, I'd definitely go with the 55's.

Default What I was getting at though, that if you have the 6" wheels, 195 are the correct size...

...and with the 7" wheels you can do 195 or 205.

I'd keep it to an OE size, and, therefore find another tire.

Buttttt...my '96 A6q came with 205/65 tires on a 15x7 wheel and they were fine, no rubbing or problems...rode really nice.


Quick Reply: 205/55-15 or 205/65-15 tires on stock 15" wheels?
