Hi Gareth,
My apologies for the unspecific post, this is my first time dealing with changing wheels.
The current size of the wheels and tyres on my A6 are 18” 245/45/18 (picture attached to how they look like)
Yes this wheel and tyre size combination is a recognised size for my model inside the fuel filler cap.
The reason I want to change to smaller wheels is because I don’t want to be paying a higher cost for tyres in future with the s line wheels. I believe that the smaller 17” wheels will have cheaper tyres because the wheels are smaller and the first 3 numbers on the tyre is smaller (correct me if I am wrong)I prefer the smaller 17” wheels because it wont be as big of an issue if the wheels get damaged because they are less valuable than the s line wheels.
Any help is much appreciated.
