They will look rather small on 8, they are the size you would use on A4 or A6. Your speedo reading will be out by larger amount, with stock tyre when speedo says 80 you are doing about 74-75mph in reality with these tyres it will be around 70 when it shows 80. You will loose 17mm ride hight, get a little more stability around the corners, gain a little in acceleration and loose a bit in economy. I would either look for another wheels or budget for another set of tyres, you can always sell the tyres that are on the wheels at the moment to recoup some of the costs. Like oldnick says OEM tyre size on 18" wheels for D2 A8 is 245/45R18
