Default wheel sizes .. how is the width measured? what's the widest known wheel to fit on a4/s4?

say you buy an 18x8.5" wheel. is the 8.5" obtained by measuring from edge to edge or from bead to bead(where the tire touches the inner rim)?

oh .. would you say 9.5" wheel on a4 is repair costs waiting to happen? stock sport suspension? dropped another inch?

oh sigh.
wheel drama continued ...

FYI. the wheel width is determined by measuring from BEAD to BEAD.
