Default Will 225/50/16s fit a 2001 A4 1.8T Quattro

that is lowered with Eibach Pro Kit Springs or APR Roll control springs and Bilstein Sport Shocks? Are there ANY rubbing issues at all? I imagine the ride will be near to my stock suspension with the OE 15s but I'm hoping the handling will be a little better. Plan on either Yoko AVS dB or Bridgestone RE 950s. I think I need the all seasons as I don't always get my snows on early enough, and like to get them off too early.

No Problem at all. That is the most common replacement size for people w/stock 16" rims.

Default Jasson H has done it before.

He was using the stock 16's from the sport package 00. the size he used was 225 50 16, with the dunlope sp 8000. If i recal correctly, he did not have any issues with fender rubbing. Altough 225 is a little wide for the wheel. but it fits fine, and was quite happy with the results.

Bridgestone runs wider, in terms of their shoulders. I belive yokohma does so as well but less of an extant than the bridgestones.
so carefull on your tire selection.

I dont think you should have any problems.
