Will these fit? More important...
<center><img src="http://shop.achtuning.com/ProductImages/images/product_images_hartmann/Hartmann_Audi_RS6_172.jpg"></center><p>Thinking of getting the summer setup going. Looking at the Hartmann HRS6 - 172. 18x8.5" | ET30 | 5x112 bolt pattern with 255-40-18 tires.
How will they look in your opinion.
I have a 2002 (Non HP2) 2.7T. These would be a wide stance, but too wide? Opinions?

Offest is as far out as you'd want to go and the 255 is wider than I'd go on a narrow body. Combined
with the 255 tire, you very well may rub. If you are lowered at all, I am betting substantial rubbing.

My opinion....(with pics)........

I ran 18 x 8.5 et30 last summer with 245/45/18 on my '04 A6 2.7T S-line. While it had a wide, mean looking stance from the rear, sometimes I thought it looked a little ghetto with too much rim/tire outboard of the fender wells. I have stock sport suspension, if lowered I am fairly certain it would have rubbed. Also, the amount of crap that got kicked up by the wide tires kept streaks and spots up the side of the car all summer!! I am on the hunt for 8" wide rims with a 35 offset to bring the outer edge in a little!!

I don't have HP2 calipers, wheels cleared by a mile, never had a problem with rubbing with the 245 width, just didn't like the appearance. But I did like the look from some angles, much better than the stock 17 x 7.5 et43, so thats why I'm looking for something in between. Just my $.02. Others, like BD and 5speed6, have probably run numerous combinations on the 2.7t and could give you other opinions.....

It would have looked great with wider flares or flaps!!!
