What wheels are these for Audi?
In advance thanks for your input.
I bought a 18 s4 at a dealership 2 years ago. I included insurance on the rims and tires. One rim is leaking air and now the dealership "can't find" that rim. It's been two months that I've been waiting. Please if anyone can help I greatly appreciate it!! Rim info 255/45/18

If it's an Audi wheel, take it off and look at the p/n and specs on the inside.
255/45r18 is a tire size, nothing to do with the rim. And it's not an Audi B8/B9 spec tire size either; that's a +1" size. Audi 18" would be 245/40r18.
You might need to recheck your tire. Because the style is a 19" wheel for the A5, not any wheel for the A4. 8W0601025AN And the stock tire size would be 255/35r19.

Thanks for your help! Do you think they put an 18 inch tire on a 19 inch rim? I looked online and it seems that people have done it. The dealership keeps looking for the same style rim but for 18 inches.

I can't express enough the gratitude for your replies. Maybe the dealership didn't do it on purpose when they sold me the car with new tires but I just want to drive without constantly adding air.

They are talking about the spare tire/wheel normally kept in the trunk (if equipped). When people mention "spare tire" they are usually referring to the spare tire/wheel combo as a whole. They were just saying that your spare can be 18 inches. Meaning the tire and wheel are both 18 inches. I have no idea what they are trying to say in the second post. They are contradicting themselves even. Ignore that. You can't mount an 18 inch tire on a 19 inch wheel.

Naudi, just read the wheel size on the sidewall of the tire...
