Looking to fit these on the A6, Avant, C5, 03 Plate, Sport.
They are S line Original-Ronal, 5x112. 5 studs. 8.0Jx18H2 ET43.
Still can't decide what shoes to put on them alloys?
Pirelli, Uniroyal?
Thinking 245/45/18 all 4 wheels. I love the way alloys looks with low profile tyres, but I don't want to lost comfort, and get felling like driving a tank with a 35 high tyres...

They'll fit straight on, if you look at my build thread you'll see how mine look. I added 8mm spacers all round, and then 15mm spacers to the rear which helps the aesthetics a lot. As you'rs is a Sport you can just about get away without the immediate need for lowering.

I bought some new P-Zero just before Christmas, stuck to the original 235/40 size and have no complaints.
 
Thank you for your reply quattrojames. My A6 Sport feels lowered already, I looked at AutoData, and only option left is 40 instead 45 high. I did wanted to keep 45, because its "Daddywagon", and 45 give u more comfort when u drive, I believe with 40 will be hard driving like a Tank, and around where I live road bad anyways+speed bumps...
But I have no choise but to go on 40 high, because 45 I know it will not fit with 18".
I think I will not use any spacers, and I planning to go for a 235/40/18. I know P-zero are good, but I think I will try Dunlops Sport Maxx RT, wet grip-A, fuel-c, and very quite only 68db noise, but not sure about how quick it will wear off them...
S-Line Alloys just had today a good Jet wash, I will get them ready for a new set tyres, (when I can afford new tyres). Dunlops I found was 97£ each. Not cheap, but I will NOT go for a budget Chinese crap...
 
That's how she look now with 17" originals, 235/45/18.
Pirelli tyres all 4.

Id consider 225/40 on an 18x8", 235/45 would look like balloons!

The prices on T1-R's are favourable too - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4X-New-225-40-18-Toyo-Proxes-T1-R-92Y-XL-2254018-225-40-18-4-TYRES-/161610833128?pt=UK_Cars_Tyres_RL&fits=Tyre Width:225|Aspect Ratio:40|Diameter:18&hash=item25a0c19ce8

Yokohama parada spec 2's aren't much more money either.
Good evening Ben Jah min, only option on high I have with R18 is 40, because 45 with R18 will not fit for sure... At the moment is 235 and its fine with this wide, I could go for 245, but this means inside 5mm extra and out 5mm extra wide. Possible will need a 5 or 10mm spacers with a 245 wide, and always more rolling resistance = always more fuel with 245, would be more stable on the road, thats for sure, but between 235 and 245 its only 10mm difference, and its very stable at the moment so I think I will stick to 235 wide. In terms of tyres I like Dunlop Sport Maxxx RT more, because its offer wet grip-A, And Fuel-C, and very low noise level 68db, while u drive. I know its extra cash to pay, but I think its worth while...
 
hi,

I have these wheels for summer with 245/40x18 Toyos fit fine with no spacers and no rubbing. In my opinion look right - not really like balloons but then I don't like the stretched look at all.
Mine is a Quattro 2.5Tdi Avant with sport suspension - not lowered. I think rides ok but not as soft as winter set up with 17 wheels.
