Default 17" rims with what tires? on C5

I want to put 17" rims on my a6
My A8 has 17 with 225/55R17-they look wide,very nice

Audi has an option for A6- 17's with a 235/45R17-seems wide so I might go with the 225/55R17 like the A8

If you have 17" rims on your A6 what tires and tire size do you have. The rims I am looking at are 17-7.5. Pictures would really help if you have any. I also noticed that 225/60R17(an option for the A8) are about $100 cheaper per tire (Michelin) and they only have a 12mm difference in height.

These are the rims, What do you think?

Not these exact sizes but you get the idea. (looks like they have larger rims on back)

Please take note I do not want to restart the great tire debate...Lets not go there. I'm really curious to see what the 60s would look like. I don't want it to look to meaty.

I'm running my third set of Pirelli Fourseasons, 235/45-R17. They're on the oem rims. Hope that helps.
