18" Wheels Clear Calipers on '13 S Line Prestige

Searched and couldn't find the answer. Does anyone know if the Audi 18" Q7 wheels will clear the calipers on an '13 Q7 S Line Prestige? Looking to do a winter wheel set and wasn't sure if the S Line Prestige had larger brakes that would cause an issue. It appears that 18" will just barely clear, but hard to tell for sure. Wondering if others have done 18" winter wheels on this model.

There are three types of brakes on the Q7.
The standard brembo setup, then same fronts but with different rear calipers and larger discs (which mine has.... 4.2Tdi with full option in UK) then there are the ceramics on the V12 tdi.

The OEM 18" will fit all but the ceramics (20"s are smallest) as I use 18" for my winter setup (factory winters are 18"s)
