Default Gary, 16" winter wheels for B5 S4 from tirerack?

I'm looking to outfit my 2001.5 S4 with 16" winter wheels if at all possible, as I want to avoid dealing with the possibility of bubbled tires over the winter on the roads here in MA.

Looking at tirerack.com, there are no 16" wheels shown for the B5 S4. I know the issue is clearing the brakes and that not all 16's will fit, but it sounded like a good number of wheels out there do from other people here at Audiworld, and I'm wondering if I can buy these from tirerack or if I'll have to hunt around elsewhere (I've had good experience with tirerack in the past and would prefer to buy there).

Gary, are there any 16" wheels for the B5 S4 that I can get through tirerack? Thanks for any help.

Default If I'm not mistaken..

I think the <a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Fwheels%2FDisplayWheel.jsp%3Fwhe elMake%3DAT%2BItalia%26wheelModel%3DS5%26wheelFini sh%3DSilver%2BPainted">AT Italia S5</a> and the <a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Fwheels%2FDisplayWheel.jsp%3Fwhe elMake%3DMille%2BMiglia%26wheelModel%3DSpider%2BII %26wheelFinish%3DBright%2BSilver%2BPaint">Mille Miglia Spider</a> fit over the stock S4 calipers... but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Gary will be back on Tuesday (<a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/wheel/msgs/74399.phtml">See this post</a>), and I'm sure he'll know. You might also want to just call their 1-800 number and see if someone else can help you if it's urgent.

Grant from Tirerack popped on not too long ago, he might be covering for Gary, so maybe he could assist?

Good luck!

You are correct, the AT Italia S5 will work as listed on our website under Winter packages. The Spider has been discontinued and is no longer available.
