Default OK, one last poll..........

here's the dope on the wheels. they are wearing 245/45/17's. The only way to really know is to try them on, but I don't want to do that. will they fit on the dropped baby A3?

Default How about sharing a photo. Never thought I'd be asking YOU that! I think

most of us are wearing 245/40/18. Since you're dropping $ on wheels/tires, maybe an 18" set up would be best. IMO they look better on a dropped A3 than a 17".

You already have 17"s for the winter.

Default Nope, your statement is incorrect.

I highly doubt that "most of us" are running 245 series tires.
