Well done - you won't regret it at all. The tyres are directional so when you get them make sure you have a full set as if the vendor has more than one set they can be mixed so need a tyre swapping round & better to notice before you fit them...

In the UK 19's were the default and you had to tick the box to get 18's when factory ordering a B7 - I remember checking this back in February 2006 when I factory ordered mine.

Was probably the same on the C5 RS6 then - 19s were default, and tick-box to drop to 18s?
