Default 18" Wheel & Tire Possibilities For the RS4?

Those of you running 18" wheels and tires, please show and tell. Aside from keeping the same circumference, I'd like to know the best possible sizes and offsets that fit like the OEM 19's. Preferably, without spacers.

TIA

I saw this on Hartmann, their DTM wheel in 18x8.5" ET25, looked like a pretty good setup

I am trying to figure out a winter set up and this thread would go a long way to helping out. All of the different offsets and spacers can get quite confusing.

If you don't mind listing the wheel brand, size, offset, spacers (if needed), and tire set that would be spectacular.

Default Hartmann B5 RS4 reps 18x8.5 et20

I had the hartmann in et20 18x18.5 for winter, nice setup, more aggressive offset then stock so it was more flush with the fenders.

Do you need spacers to run an et20 offset? From what I can the minimum offset for an 8.5" wheel is 32mm. Thanks.

Nice pix. But, I it sends chills down my spine thinking about my RS4 being in the snow. Not that the RS4 can't handle those conditions being AWD and everything...but just the thought of having it exposed to that climate. I guess I am just a wimpy Californian

FWIW, the factory 18" wheel and tire dimensions were as follows:

8.5" x 18" ET24
255/40-18
