Default Rim/Tire Help?

I was wanting to buy some new rims/low profile tires for my 1997 Audi. Only problem is I don't know what size will technically fit in it. I have a 1997 Audi A6 Quattro AWD. I was wanting to get some Zenetti Five 18x8.5 rims. Only problem is I don't know the bolt pattern of my rims on my car. Anyone know how to get this? Is it in the owners manual. Also. The site suggests I get 225/40x18 tire sizes. Does this all sound right or not? If not, pleas tell me your input. It's alright though, I have until all winter to save money.

Here's the site, http://www.superbuytires.com/wheels/model/Zenetti/Five/

your bolt pattern is 5/112 that is the size I have on my A4 its not as smooth as the 205/55/16 the car came with but I'm not 50 yet either so it just depends on how you like your ride now

How did you know what my bolt pattern is? Is it standard on most Audi's? Or did you look it up on a website.

perhaps i did not say that right, since this is an audi forum your question was about an audi, that bolt pattern is pretty standard for audi, thank you.
