Default Tire size

Hi just wondering if someone can let me know if this would fit my wheel well,
Im needing winter tires found a set at 235/65/18
My current wheels are 245/45/18 on my 2001 Audi A8L

Would these fit my wheel well and wheels properly??

Thanks all!!

245/45/18 = (245mm*.45*2)/25.4mm/in+18in wheel= 26.68" overall diameter

235/65/18 = (235mm*.45*2)/25.4mm/in+18in wheel = 30.02" overall diameter

Difference: +3.34 inches!!!

Try to stay within +/- 1/4 inch, not 3-4.

They could fit with a 4-6" lift, but I don't suppose you're going for that look
