Default Will these fit?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7904856607&ssP ageName=ADME:B:EOAB:US:6
Just purchased these through EBAY and from what info I have read, I assume that they will fit a '97 A8. Could a wheel expert here tell me that they will fit so I can rest easy?
Thanks
Doug

Default Wheels will be OK (actually great), but ...

the 255/35-18 RS4 tire is much too small in diameter for an A8; you'll want either 245/45-18 or 255/45-18. The RS4 tire is off the top of the table in <A HREF="http://www.audipages.com/upgrades/tiresizeoptions.html">A8/S8 Tire Options</a>.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=7904856607&amp;ssP ageName=ADME:B:EOAB:US:6">RS4 wheel/tires on eBay</a></li></ul>

If you look closely at the pic, they are actually 255/40/18. Still a little small, but closer to OEM diameter.

Default You got better eyes than I !! ...

I couldn't (and still can't) find it in the pics and just used the standard RS4 tire size, 255/35-18.
