My dealer told me that putting 17 inch on my A3 will cause problems with handling and that tyres get bold quickly. I don't believe him, so I would like to ask people who have 17inch on their A3's.

Your dealer most likey doesn't know what he is talking about.<p>Check with the tuners that offer kits and modifications to A3s, they will know if you can put 17" rims on there. Since I am in the USA, I can't help you much, but I have seen pics of A3s with 17" rims before.<p>Christian J. Long
