Tires?

Will a set of 215/50/15 fit the 9 spoke Audi rims? Or should I go with a 215/55/15, or do I pretty much have to buy a 205/55/15 tire size if I want to upgrade to sporty tires for the stock 9 spoke rims.

Thanks, next question

Do you think a 215 wide tire would be to much stress on the suspension, with a small 15 inch rim.

no. the rims are strong, they'll support the majority of any lateral motion...

besides, isn't stock width like 205? an additional 10mm, IMO, isn't going to through the whole ship off balance...
