Not quite what you asked for, but this thread shows that 7mm spacers were ok on the stock 20" rims:

This would imply that a 45mm offset should work.

Thanks.....I'm no expert on rims, is it common to install them with spacers? I would think a perfect fit without spacers would be preferred?

Definitely better without. The spacers were used only to check fit for wheels with a smaller offset - not permanent. The post noted that there was some vibration with the spacers installed.

Thanks.....I guess I'm leaning towards the audi rims, I like the look, maybe I can save some bucks by getting the tires only from TireRack.

45mm will definitely work. I'm running 18x8.5 45mm offset VMR 710 wheels with 245/40-18 snow tires. the spacers also proved to me that 9" wide wheels at 45mm offset and 255 tires would also work.
