New to the forum, I just purchased a '99 A6 2.8L Quattro for a good deal and would like to upgrade the tire and wheel package. Currently has 16's, was wondering if I could move to an 18" wheel with a 235/40-18 tire and not have any clearance issues?

try going on tirerack.com when you input car make/model it will give combonations that fit.

 

You should be able to go up to 19's but it's up to you. A few aftermarket wheels may require wheels spacers and others don't. You wouldn't have a problem with that size tire but I would go with a 225/45 series tire. I've seen guys put as wide as a 255 on there car and no problem but that's wide.
Stockrim dimensions are 5x112 with 35mm offset.

 

I have 19x9.5 with 265/30/19 and 8mm spacers and they fit pretty good.
and i might be selling them if your interested

 

I got 20's on my 2000 A6 2.8

look nice and my car is white as well. Would you give me some details? Brands, age, price, what area you are located in?

Thanks,

Larry
