Default 245/45-18 is the std tire on an 18" wheel; 255/45-18 is rare but will fit.

The overall diameter of an 245/50-18 will be too large. If you need the compliance of a taller sidewall, I recommend a 17" wheel with the 225/55-17.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipages.com/upgrades/tiresizeoptions.html">A8/S8 Tire Options</a></li></ul>
