I have a 2002 Q45 that I'm using as a parts car.
This weekend I'm pulling off the wheels and tires to use on the girlfriends car.

Now i still need to be able to roll this beast around, i have access (need to drive 45 min) to a set of 15" wheels of the correct bolt pattern and close enough center bore, the question is, has anybody tried a 15" wheel on a 2002 Q? will it clear the brakes and such??
This car is NOT going to be driven on these, just moved around the shop..

I know someone is going to be a smart a** and say try it, i will be, but I'm trying to plan my weekend ahead of time, if i need to find 16" wheels i need to do that before i pull the stock 17's off and am not able to move it.. I only have so much garage space.
Thanks guys..

A quick eyeball guestimate looks ok if you have clearance for the brake calipers. Diameters look ok, just check the lateral space.

yep a quick eye ball tonight looks good.. I can fit my hand between the caliper and the inside of the 17" wheel.
I was not able to pull a wheel yet, as I discovered the previous owner did not give the lug nut lock key with the car.
So tomorrow morning I have to go and find a way to get them off, then I can check with an actual 15"er..

Thanks for the reply..
