if they are 8.5's i'd probably go w/some 275's, they'll help you grip, plus they look a little cooler, you might want to ditch that MAF too, alot of A4 guys have problems w/aftermarket MAF's

Hello, well i was told since the rims are 8's which they seem to measure too but you say 8.5's that all ican go is 245. Please help me on tire size. The bigger the better. Also what does the MAF do wrong. I havent noticed anything bad. thanks

no 8" most likely an 8.5" then you can run some 275's they will make a big difference asthetically and performance wise, Nitto make some 305-35-18's and some 275-35-18's

Ok, so i can go 275's than? Now are all nitto's, DR's? Or do they make street tires too? It probably wouldnt be a good idea to put DR's on these due to them being me everyday daily driver. I was thinking some nice street tires like KDWs. let me know what you think. thanks

Go to discounttiredirect.com or tirerack.com and search for the size tire you are looking for. You will get all the specs on the wheels including wear and even opinons on the tires.

Pirelli PZeros are awesome tires. Nitto does make a street tire it's the 555. But yes, check out Discount Tire.

I use Nitto 555r's for daily driving, i drive about 60 miles a day and I have had no probs with them, they grip better than anything I have ever had, no slipping even in the rain.
