Very simple. These tire sizes require no fender work for S4's with 8.5".
These guys are very conservative. Stock tire size is 225. So running with 225's will result in less problems for consumers (less risk).

I'm running them fine...P-Zero Asym...235 looks tall to me.
225/40/18 18/8.5 et 32 P-Zero Asym. No trimming, slight rub of fender liners. (not bothersome)
235/40/18 18/8.5 et 35 Filk Wasp Dunlop Super Sport Race.
Slight roll required, and trimming of fender linders. These probably run wider and maybe taller than normal street 235/40/18. But I can notice them being significantly taller. But much wider and bad-*** as hell is the stance from the rear with these.

It is purely a personal preference IMO. I think that 225's are too stretched for 8.5" rims, so I
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/44443/p9140798.jpg"></center><p>chose to spend the $'s to fit 255's which the tire size fills the rim. It always bugged me when I used to run 235's on my 8.5" rims, that they were too narrow for my tastes (see pic).
You can run whatever you want, just like I will.

That's because they are tall. I ran 235/18/40's for quite awhile. The 255/18/35's are ..
almost the exact same rolling diameter as the stock 225/17/45's.
