Whats the maximum size?

Tyres that i can fit to my 18" alloys? Sorry if this has been asked before but i did a quick search and only found one for the MK2 Octy. I'm looking to keep as close to the standard comfort as possible.

Never had a problem with my RS6`s, 225/40/18`s are the recc; fitment Depends on the wheel offset and J size for rubbing

Definitely 225-40 on 18" wheels and nothing else.

I'd agree; 225s, unless you want to get into rolling, or possibly stretching, arches.
