I'm looking to source another set of alloys onto which I'll stick winter tyres. I'll likely be sourcing these used from Germany as a friend lives out there and, as winter tyres are a legal requirement, there's a massive used market in wheels and tyres.
The issue is making sure the wheels will fit. My main issue is the size as ideally I'd be looking at 18" wheels to stick 225/40 tyres on but will 18" even fit an S3 saloon. As it comes with mag ride and 19" wheels as standard, I'm concerned the former dictates the latter and 18" won't fit. Also what offset do I need. Basically I want to give my friend some clear specs so he can find and buy some for me which I can then bring back when I next visit.
