Default Can I run 245-40-17's on a B5 S4

Planning on lowering it with H&R streets...

I looked in archives, and there is a lot of theory there....

Default Archives will give you the answer

As you mentioned there is a lot of theory there. basically they will NOT fit OEM wheels (need 8" minimum width), and going wider on afterkt wheels will depend upon offset as well. Plan on some bidy mods needing to be done, as 245 IS agressive for the car.

Hope this helps!<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2Findex.jsp">http://www.tirerack.com/tires/index.jsp</a></li></ul>

Default I will get 8" wheel...

would you recommend 235/40/17 then. On an 8 inch wheel. Or do you really prefer that we stick to 225/45/17?
