Tire Sizing Question

[moroA4B7]

Hey guys, I am planning on buying a set of RS6 reps (18 x 8, et35) from hartman tomorrow and a set of tires off tire rack, and had a few questions about the right size to put on. Would the correct tire size be 245/40/18? I believe this is what I am going to do but after browsing through a few threads and seeing others choices on tire sizes im not to sure. btw, this is for a 2006 A4, which is not currently lowered. Also would any one know by chance the weight of these wheels? Thanks for the help!

We can do 245/40R18 or 235/40-18 (XL), either tire needs an 8" wide wheel minimum. Can't help on the wheel weight, sorry.

Awesome thanks, what exactly is the XL rating for on the 235 series tire? Also would a 245 appear to be to 'chubby' on the wheel, and would I be better off with the 235? Thanks again.

XL is needed for a larger load vehicle. 245's on a 8" will be fine.
