Early Stevens Esprit's front wheel wells changed through the years. Early ones, including the '88, had smaller wheel wells.
Non-USA S4 and S4s got larger wheel wells, and 17x8.5 wheels with +19mm offset and 235/40 rubber.
The USA models got smaller 17x7 with +23.3mm offset and 215/40 rubber.
Then, in mid-1995 the molds were commonized and all markets got the larger wheel wells.
