Wheel advice
I am looking to replace my stock 18" wheel (prestige, non-sport, OEM springs) which has 245/45/18 18x8J ET39 tire/rim combo with an A5 titanium rotor wheels with 255/35/19 19x9J ET33 specs.
The rimsntires.com calculator shows that the new wheel will stick out 11 mm compared to the stock wheel.
However, using the 1010tires.com wheel offset calculator, the wheel will stick out 19 mm compared to the stock wheel.
Which one is correct? Unfortunately, can't test fit as the new wheels are in a different city.

1010tires is correct. The one inch wider wheel would be half of that inch inward and the other half outward so that half inch is 12.7mm. Add to that the 6mm offset difference and the wheel sits outward 18.7mm compared to the original wheels.
