Not true.

MY 01 came with 15"s stock.

I have since replaced them with 18s thank you very much.

In the US, the B6 A4 3.0 came with 16" stock. On other versions (1.8T)
it was an option, as was 17".

By "standard" I meant that this particular size I mentioned
(215/55/16x7) was offered by Audi itself, so it definitely works.

Cheers,

Pete

Your info is out of date.
That was true of pre-2003
A4's.

All current (and 2003-2004)
A4's come with 17" rims.

Oh gimme a break. I was just trying to make a point that the original
poster who has a B6 A4 (I think) may want to consider a certain size
which is OK by the manufacturer, in case he had any concerns.
