Antarius,
Thanks for the reply.
I found a set of 17x7.5 wheels from an Audi 2006-2013 A3 2.0T. I assume this will be a direct bolt-on replacement to my 2016 Audi S3, right? I want to make sure that I don't need shorter bolts, spacers, or any other adapters.

I have some Winter tires on my old Evo MR Wheels (17x8), I assume the 0.5" wont make a big difference. I believe the tires are 235/45 R17.

thanks for the help
Below is a picture of the wheels:

Personally I think you're better off going with 16 or 17" wheels, winter tires tend to be more expensive in 18s, 17 is kind of a sweet spot. For the winter season, with the deeper and more numerous potholes you're better off with thicker sidewalls too.

(215x50 R17 tires with Andros R9 wheels) available on tire rack is my personal setup. (Around 500 for the set of 4 wheels)
