Something different in a 5-spoke for your A8L.
I have a pretty strong belief these will also fit your A8's.
The wheels are 9" by 19" with a 41 mm offset. The tires are Pirelli PZero Asimmetricos size 275 40 19.
I got this set of take-offs from a 2005 Bentley GT coupe for $1,500 for four. I actually got five so I'd have a matching spare. The tires had less than a hundred miles on them. Total bill came to $1,875 plus shipping. The set included the Bentley "B" logos. I think standard Audi logo caps will fit, but the chrome trim that spells out "Bentley Motors" might have to stay on. I'm looking at that now.
There's always a bunch of them on ebay motors.

What's the original tire.
These are 0.66 inches larger than the stock Phaeton and they fit. There may be room in the A8 well but I never have taken a close look. If it's really a full inch, it probably won't fit because the Phaeton just barely makes it at 1 inch. These tires correct some of the speedo error. 2 percent.

225/60-16, 225/55-17, or 245/45-18
Audipages is your friend. Note in the table that 275/40-18 is the correct diameter. 275/40-19 is, of course, exactly 1" larger.
I'm also positive it won't fit in the spare tire well. My 255/35-20 is a perfect but max fit at only 0.3" larger.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipages.com/upgrades/tiresizeoptions.html">A8/S8 Tire Options</a></li></ul>

255/45-18 are stock Phaeton 27" OD
The spare tire well issue is important to me also. I discovered a 255 50 18 would fit in the P car spare tire well but you would need to reroute a wiring harnass, it's that tight.
