I'm curious about two things: 1) the offset and 2) the weight.

I'm guessing 225 45 17 would do the trick for tires but there should be no rubbing correct with a B5 that has not been lowered?

And then I know the weight of the 16" B5 wheels is like 20.5 pounds I believe. Are the B7 6 spoke wheels heavier? I've seen things about Avus wheels for the S4 weighing like 28 pounds.

I'd like the change in looks of a 6 spoke wheel but could do without the change in weight if it increases. Any thoughts greatly appreciated, thanks.

 

not sure about offset but i just put a set of 03 a4 five spokes on my b5 looks ****. 225/45/r17 run fine and im dropped almosts 5in. previously had a set of 18x9 tsws but to big . refuse to loose ride quality for big wheels. if your at factory hieght they will look good
