You have given us the tyre size, which is ok, but we need the wheel width and offset to be sure they will fit.  :smiley:

Right, the wheels are E.T 35, and the rim width is 8.5. I currently have 17 inch monzas fitted which i believe are 7.5 E.T 51?Which i think would mean the RS6 wheels would stick out an extra 29mm, which would give some poke surely??????????? help please!!
