Default New A6 sizes for rear C5Z?

My first set of a6's last year I got 315/30/18 for rear.

I just now noticed a 335/30/18 and a 345/35/18.

Are these new sizes for c5z (stock rims only)?

What are you c5z guys using currently for rear?

Thanks!

1/4 spacer required?

Both sizes have been around for a while. The 335s rub on the tub under load and can crack the fender lip. 345s only get worse. FWIW.

I'm not sure either provides a better contact patch then the 315s.

I believe Hoosier recommends no less than 11.5" rim width.
