Default Tires?

I just got 17" RS4 reps and I need tires. I brought them to a place to get them fitted and whatnot onto my car, but the place wont do anything for me. They say that they can't help me with non-stock wheels.

I don't know which tires to get that would fit the A4 correct. This may be a dumb question, but that's why I am here. haha

Run a 235-45-17 (I ran that when I had 17s) and the rolling diameter is very close to stock, so your instrument calibration stays close (odometer, speedometer).

I dunno lol I'll check tomorrow.

I was hoping someone else here had 17" RS4 rims that would tell me the exact tires or similar to suggest.
