Thinking about it before replacing the strut/shocks/springs. Want to make sure the wheel/tires fit before doing any further modifications.

I've got 18x8s. +35 mm offset. I didn't have to roll anything....
and the inside clears the tie rod by about a half inch. No rubbing issues anywhere that I've seen.
My only recommendation against them would be that 225/40/18s are rubber band tires, so my ride is a little more rough, and I have had some pothole issues that **** me off to this day.
They look awesome though.

I think 225 tires are way thin.

Springs and shocks are next on the list...
I live in Arkansas, so potholes are a day-to-day thing. 225/40/18s are about 2 inches of sidewall on 18x8 wheels.
Of course, I was also running my pressures too low when I had "pothole issues," which is probably more to blame.
And just in case anyone is thinking to ask...Yes, there are Audis in Arkansas. Quattro on dirt roads is more fun.
