255? 265? How wide can we go?

So I'm about 95% sure that I'm going to get SSR GT3's for my new A4 (see link for pics on an E46 M3). At 18x8.5 (tire rack's recommendation actually) that wheel could easily support a 255 or 265, has anyone seen what can be fit on the new A4 yet? If not looks like I'll try 255 Kumhos, I'm guessing that won't be too tight a squeeze.<ul><li><a href="http://www.evosport.com/gallery/bmw/evosport_E46m3.html">http://www.evosport.com/gallery/bmw/evosport_E46m3.html</a</li></ul>

Everything I've heard is that we can't go wider AT ALL. Please prove otherwise :-)

I don't know, but those wheels are sweet. I wish they came in 17's.

I'll try to arrange it with the local tire shop, get 3 sets of Kumhos, 235, 245, 255

I know a few people who I think would order all 3 and just stock the two sets that don't fit. It seems like it should fit because I know of an M3 with a 8.5" rim and 255's and they are flush.
