Back when I had money for tires, I ran A4's on stock 5.5 fuchs 4 bolt rims. I had no rubbing issues, did not need to roll or cut anything, but clearances were close. I switched to some 7" rims. I had to roll and cut a tiny bit on the back, nothing to the front. As the offset was not perfect, I had some spacers made. The tires and car were transformed. It was like a new and more awesome set of tires. The wider rims allowed the tires to perform to their full potential. Run on the 5.5's if you have no other options. Find a way to get those skins on to some 7's for best results.
