want to ensure they will fit - I believe they will, but the radius is 0.3" greater than stock (255/40/19) so best to ask.
This would be for winter tires.
Thanks.

My 2012 A7 S-Line came with stock 20" and 265/35/R20 Pirelli summers. I just switched over to a set of 255/45/r18 using my ex-Q5 rims. Clearance-wise, I had to use 12mm H&R spacers in front and 15mm spacers in the back.
Runs great in winter!

You sure on the 265? Cause I thought the stock size is 255?

265 is OEM size on the A7's. It doesn't sound like much but I noticed the difference on the dealers lot when looking at a pair of C7's from the rear.

Here's a handy tire size calculator for up/down sizing if you need it.

Thanks. I missed that he said A7....was thinking A6. I have used that calculator (great tool) and see the difference is 0.3 inch (radius) which is why I feel the tires *should* work. Just seeking input if anyone has tried them. Thanks for the help.
