Default Can I fit larger tires on 2011 A4?

A4 is shoed with 245/40-ZR18s. I have a set of RS4 replica rims from my A6 that carried 235/45-R18s. I'd like to fit them with a set of Continental summer tires in a larger size to fill the wheel wells a little better. Does anyone know if 245/45-R18s, 255/40-R18s, or even 255/45-R18s would fit without rubbing??


PS - I tried a search without success.

You should be ok with 255/40-18. That's about the same diameter as 255/35-19 and they fit fine. Do you know the offset of the A6 wheels?

Thanks for the info. Here are the specs on the RS4 replica rims that fit perfectly on the A6. It did take a different lug bolt than stock.
Diameter - 18";
Width - 8.5";
Offset - ET38
PCD - 5x112
Weight - 26.5lbs
Centerbore - 57.1mm
Lug Bolts - 14x1.5 27mm R13 Ball Seat

8.5" wide with a 38 offset will be close, but should be OK.

I have 245/45 18's on mine with RS7 replica rims offset 35. Just put them on the other day, but so far no rubbing at all.
