Default Tire size help

I just bought a set of Audi wheels for my 97 A8 off of the Audi classifieds. They are 18" and have 225/45 snow tires on them. I plan on taking the snows off and putting summer tires on these wheels as my summer wheels. My 16" wheels will be the designated winter wheels. The 225/45 are low profile, and look a little silly on my car that has not been lowered. There is a big gap between the fender and the tire. What size tire would fill the wheel space up nicer. I don't want to lower the car, just want a bigger tire. Thanks.

Standard tires are 245/45 on 18's, and should fill the arches a little more
