Default 18 inch rims?

i have a 99 a4 q 1.8T and it has the stock sport suspension on it.

if i were to buy 225/40/18 rims and tire, would it fit fine? or do you think it will make the car sit a bit higher?

anyone out ther with this wheel size and this suspension with pics would be great. or any idea if it will be ok

ASAP PLEASE!

You'll be fine. I'm running same set up. It could use a lowering but I don't feel like its too4x4. I'm at work so I only have a couple pics.

pics are from a few months back but show the gap pretty well.

Ive been asking myself this same question and can't decide if they would sit low enough for me. More side pics anyone?
