Default Almost no way...
...those tires are nearly two inches taller than stock. I don't even think 245/40-18 will fit (but that is close).

Default And what's the offset of the RS4 wheel? even a 245/35-18
may rub if it's a ET45 or similar to the S4 wheel offset.

If he meant RS4 Replicas, ACHTUN!NG's is ET35. Others sell an ET30 version.

Default Authentic RS4 type wheels from Audi (come w/245/45/18)...
I was thinking of getting them with the tire option, but I'm guessin' they don't fit??
I still have the spacers from my Miglia's Action Sport 18x8's...
My other option is to use my tires that I have now (225/40/18) on the RS4 wheels...

Thoughts...???

Default NO. RS4 tire size = 255/35/18 = 25.03" diameter. the stock S4 tire size of
225/45/17 = 24.97" diameter but your dimensions = 26.68" diameter tire . . .
