You might want to call Hoosier and double check if they're actually making this size in the A6....the specs page lists A6 and R6 but the price list says R6 only.

I bought a set of the R6 tires. I went with the stock size (245/40-18) on the front but I did get the 295/30-19 for the rear. It is a bit shorter and, of course, wider than the stock size but it is real close. I'm going to try it.

There does not seem to be a problem with it fitting within the wheel well. It does not rub anything and my car is lowered quite a bit.

I sure hope it works! I have too much invested in these tires. I won't really know until next month when I go to the track. I'll try to let you know.

My other track tire is the Falken Azenis RT 615. It does a great job, hardly wears at all, and is cheap. I went with an 18" replica wheel on the rear to get a size that fit but it worked super.
