Question Wheel size question for 2008 A4 Quattro

I have a 2008 A4 Quattro Sline. I want to buy a set of rims for my car. My original rims are 17"x 7.5" ET 45. I'm looking at a set of 18"x 8" with a 35 offset. Wondering if they will fit? Will they clear the break calipers?
Thanks for any information.

Just as long as they have a 5x112 bolt pattern they will fit.

They should fit for sure! It looks like you want to be more aggressive. If you can find 8.5" wide wheels with an offset of 35, you will look a lot more flush than with 8" wide. Buying spacers are expensive...

Thanks for the input. I just order a set of VMR 710 Hyper Sylver 18x8.5 35 offset. I hope they fit and look good

Thanks again for the reply.

Thanks for the rim knowledge. I had no idea the 8.5 would make the rim a little more flush to the fender, the look I'm going for. Thanks
