Default Getting Audi 17"x7" - NOT 7.5" - Avus winter wheels for 2004 S4 - Will my 235/45-17 snow tires fit?
I have Dunlop M2 snow tires size 235/45-17 and I want to get the Audi 17"x7" S4 winter wheels but I'm not sure if a 7" rim is too small for the 235/45/-17 tire. They were on the Audi 17"x7.5" sport wheel on my previous 2003 A4.
If these don't fit, what size tire should I get.
Thanks!

Hmm.. M3 lists 7.5 as narrowest for 235s.

I saw that too - I was hoping not to have to buy new snow tires as well as rims for the winter

Default Agreed - or if you plan to buy new tires - you can go to the manufacturer website
and most (I know Dunlop did a few years ago) post the min wheel width the tire will fit.

Default I think my B6 Avant wheels are 17x7, and they came with 235/45-17 tires.
So I've been running my Dunlop M2's at 235/45-17 for a couple years now. I think you'd be fine.

Default Actually - I have not seen any 17" audi wheels (OEM) that are 7" - all I have seen are 7.5.
that is not to say they are not there.

Apologies: the wheels are indeed 17x7.5 as others have suggested.
