Winter Tires for S8
I have a set of 19x9.5" ET45 VMR Gunmetal V713's from my current S4. I am hoping to use them for winter tires on my S8 that is on order. Does anyone have experience with that fitment for dedicated winter tires? Does tire Size 275/45/19 sound right if the wheels will work? Thank you!

19" rims don't allways clear 400mm rotors/calipers. You need to test fit to be sure. Maybe the weights can be moved if they rub on the inside.
Stock rims are 20x9 et35, and 21x9 et35.
I used 20x9 et40 with success.

AoA shows a 19" wheel in their brochure
If you look at this brochure: http://microsites.audiusa.com/ngw/13...2_Brochure.pdf, a 19" wheel is listed for the 2013 S8. Where I live the snow builds up in the wheels easily so they are always unbalanced. Less clearance between the caliper dramatically helps with keeping the snow and ice out.
