Getting rid of the 20s off the S8, Bought some standard size 18s, RS4 9 spoke reps, with no tyres

They are 8J, wondering what size tyres they would have on standard? 225 45 18 sound about right? or should I go for 235s? or again 225s front and 235 rears?

Standard tyre size is 245/45 18.

225/45 18s will look TINY as there's not enough sidewall.

225/40/18 is what's standard on my front 8" z4 wheels
Quite a big sidewall so I'd go for that size personally

As gavin said, 225/40 is a veey common size and looks fine on 8'' wide wheels.

You can see them on my avatar.

Width wise they're fine but the A8 is fucking massive on comparison to the Z4.

Audi specced them with 245/45 18s for a reason.
