will some 16x8" 40mm offset wheels, with 245/45/16" tires fit on the A4?

why people running 45mm offset stock wheels & 225 tires would hit the shocks, but...
you are running 35mm offsets & 255 tires still have 2mm gap? Do you use any spacers?
I've been using 225/50/16 tires myself too, but have no problem at all.
Is it the same on different years of A4's?

I always see the pictures of your car, it's the best A4 I've seen !
so rolled fenders, modified fender lining, all do nothing for the inside. You even use 255 tires plus super low. This sound like 245/45/16" tires won't hit the shocks for sure...

Look at the tread width of the tires you're planning to run and see what they measure. As I said,
there is a great deal of variation between brands within each section width. For instance, the 225 Toyo tires are much narrower at the tread than the Dunlop's in the same size.
245-225/2=10mm closer to the shock if you keep the 45 offset. If you go to a 35 offset the net effect is zero as you've moved the centerline outward that same 10mm. Then the issue might become hitting on the outside .. rolled fender and clearenced liners as Ed has done.

these are both "235s". Falzen Azenis ST115 vs Kumho Ecstas V700s

235 Falken vs 255 Kumho Victoracers. you can see that within the same brand (different models)
