Default my 15" winter wheels

I have been looking for a 15" winter wheel setup for a while but wasn't sure if it would work. I came across a set of new blizzaks with 15 steel rims off of an Audi on craigslist and couldn't pass it up. So ya, they fit but not by much. I also had to use different lug nuts with a taper to fit the steelies. as far as performance goes they feel like marshmallows on the pavement but the traction on ice is for real.

The outside tire diameter is the same so clearance is the same as stock. The clearance over the brake caliper was about 1/4"

That's a good, cheap way to get flat black wheels for your white tC.
