I'm looking at getting some winter tyres for the s3 and not seen a decent set of 225/40/18's for sale at a decent price, I have however found some 225/45/18's...

What are people's thoughts on running these, my car is on standard suspension so the extra sidewall height is the only issue I'm guessing, and I'm thinking they would be fine?

Anyone run this size before...225/45/18..?

Thanks Superkarl...

I've worked out that the ride height will be increased by 22mm and the radius by half that! So still undecided! Would prefer to find some 225/40/18's as then I know there will be no issues with rubbing as ther isn't a whole lot of room at the mo. with the 18's
 
Ah yes good point! I'm just not too sure how much room I have between top of tyre and body! Will get a ruler out tomorrow! Cheers!
