Can I fit different wheels to an Audi S4?
I have an Audi A4 Avant with a 3-litre diesel engine. I would rather like to change it for an S4 but I don't like the low profile tyres that are standard on that model. Could I specify A4 wheels and tyres or could that affect performance and/or safety?

On some cars you can go down a wheel size or two and put a bit more rubber between the rims and the road. But not on an S4 that is optimised to run on bigger wheels and lower profile tyres. Besides that, smaller wheels may not actually fit around the brake discs and callipers.
