255/65 R18 Blizzak winter tires

2004 V10; Just bought a set of used Audi Q7 rims 8.5 wide X 18. Taking the plunge tomorrow mounting them because I have done a fair bit of searching here and could not find anyone who tried this size. Wanted the Michelin Xi2 but they were sold out. I wanted to go no wider (245 would have been better for me) The 255/65 R18 Blizzak is 31" OD. Comments?
 
They Fit! 8.5 wide Audi Q7 wheels ET 57 18". Running Bridgestone Blizzak 255 65 R18. 31 "
O.D. About an inch clearance to intercooler vents. Ride nice on dry pavement to start with....
Wet and snow performance to follow.
 
Hello trusty Treggers...I don't know if anyone here has info on the Q7 Audi. I just added a 2010 3.0 TDI to the fleet. I'm not a fan of the low pro bicycle wheels they come with and haven't had luck lurking the Audi forums. For winter here in Canada tall and narrow works best...considering 265 65R 18 Blizzak's. Truck is on spring suspension. Thanks for any input.
