Hey,
I've got an '02 A4. I run 15" stealies in the winter. They clear fine...in fact, that's the dealer recommended size. Have a look at the sticker (I think it's on the jam of the passenger door), it gives wheel size.

If you wanted to stay with 17" rims fo the winter, I'll sell you my stockers if you want. $550. They have some rash, but who cares in the winter!

I upgraded my brakes to the 3.0 and currently use 17" for winters (picked up a cheap old rims from craigslist and slapped on some Blizzaks). I am not sure if 15" will clear your brakes.

Have you thought about using your existing stock rims for winter and then upgrading to 18s for the summer?

15" will not fit over the 3.0 rotors. I have 3.0's and 16's fit fine. Here's a pic:

Found these locally they are from older A4s , would they clear the brakes for the A4 3.0 ? sorry for asking so many newbie questions here . I just don't have too much knowledge on audi
