Default tire size on stock a4 b5 suspension

Hi, im planing to get new tires for my a4 b5. I got 18" aftermarket wheels and i want to put 235/40/18 tires on them. Im running stock suspension but i do plan on lowering over the summer. Am I gonna experience any rubbing with those tires?

Guess I answered this question myself. I got the tires and I did put them on.

The answer is YES the back tires rub against the control arm. Spacers in the back are a must if you have a 18x8 wheel with et45 and running stock suspension.

Front is not rubbing so far, but i still have to test in on sharp turns.
