Another Wheel Thread

Current OE wheels are rashed and peeling. 19x9 265/35/r19

I have been looking around and I really like Hartmann for their replica Audi wheels. Price not so much but oh well :wink:

I have been looking at the 256s and I love the look. Reminds me of the RS5 rims.

Question time. The stock rims are a 19x9 et52 if I remember correctly. The Hartmann wheels recommended for C6S6 are 19x8.5 et38.

Even with the half inch less in width, wouldn’t a 38 offset stick out past the fender more at lease a few noticeable millimeters?

Question two. Hartmann also sells the 256s in a 19x8.5 et47. Wouldn’t the 8.5 et47 be a closer match to the OE 9 et52, as far as wheel lineup to the fender, than a 8.5 et38?

This whole wheels, tires, spacers, offset, clearance, etc… Just not my bag of tea, so I need some advice with this.

Thanks! 8)
