245 for sure with a little fender roll.

Default that's a pretty agressive size, about 11mm from "safe"
215-40-18s with rolled fenders might work for you.

^ that is safe. 225 may work as well. For 245s you need better offset - 37 or so.

Default Prepare to roll your fenders.
And have some rubbing.
8.5 ET30 is very aggressive.

Default I had 18x8.5 et 30 wheels on my old S4...
I was running Falken 452's in 215/40/18 with rolled fenders. They were quite stretched, but the wheels also were about as far "poked" as you'd want to go. You could get away with 225's but any larger and you might run into some rubbing issues.

245's are not happening with ET30 on a lowered car. 215 or 225 as others stated

Your S4 looks sharp! What wheels are those?

Default Re: 255s will fit provided you roll the fenders and trim about an inch from the liner.
you may have to be a little selective about your tire choices as well as some brands run wider for a given size.
