allroad'Ed has indicated differently in the past.
I was waiting for him to respond.
I run 19" X 8.5" X et25. The oversize tires on them (255) required a 3mm spacer at front. My suspicion is that a smaller diameter wheel may be more apt to rub the control arm. Tire Rack sells an 18et in the 18" X 8.5" & a 24et in an 8". You might be pioneering.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/allroad/msgs/179562.phtml">Ed Talkin'</a></li></ul>

1.stocks are et25@7.5 with extra good clearance
2.I am running on 18x9 et35 with 245s - 10mm HRs - clearance to front knuckle is about 4-7mm
3.I say you should be good if you stay with 245s. So clearance should be =or>7mm at the front since you have 18x8.5s(1/2" less width that my 9s and 1mm less than my 35et-10mm spacers)
