What is the correct (factory) size for a facelift S8 please?
It depends on the homologation code of the car, that is given by the factory.
My S8 FL comes from factory with 275/35's , and this size is described in the documentation of the car, with the other sizes compatible (265/35/20 and others). My car is imported from Germany.
Last month, I imported other S8 FL for a friend of mine, with the manufacturing date very close to mine and 265/35 fitted from factory. During the process to legalize it in Spain, I realised that the homologation code was different from mine, and that code didn't allow to fit 275/35 wheels. Believe it or not.... but it's like that.

Best regards
