18x8 wheels with 235/40-18 tires

I have stock sport package and tires on my b7. I was wondering if I switch to 18x8 wheels with 235/40-18 tires will this increase the gap in the wheel well or will it actually fill it in more, giving me a a more aggressive stance.

It will be a larger tire, so yes it will fill in more gap, but your speedometer will be off

I take that back, they'll be roughly the same size.

There will be some speedo error, but it will be very small.

Correction, 18x8 wheels with 235/40-18 tires

Basically it would be a B7 stock S4 tire-wheel setup.

Same size that Audi is selling with the S-line package on the A4 as well, you should be fine.

Re: zip speedo error. this is a plus zero size.

which one you thinking of fredo? wheel gap will be the same. to decrease the gap you'll need a suspension mod. holding out on your peeps bro?????????????
