Default S4 peelers on AR?

Hi all-
First mod to my 2015 AR is considering to add 19 x 8.5 x 43et peelers with stock tyres(255 35 19).
Questions are with the offset difference ( 17mm), what should I consider in mounting these?
Would a spacer and or wider tire fill the opening? Perhaps a slight drop as well? Sline or HR sport maybe?
Or should I be looking for a different wheel altogether?
Found a local set for a good price but if they aren't ideal, I'll keep looking.
Many thanks,

B8 allroads can swallow wide wheels with low offsets. Instead of S4 peelers, I would get a set of S5 peelers. They are 9" wide and et33. From there, you could run a 10mm spacer and still be fine. I have a set of S5 peelers and was running 10mm spacers front & rear with 255/35/19 PSS. I'll probably be selling them soon if you're interested.

Thanks for info- I'll keep an eye out for something local (RI,MA,CT) and I'd guess shipping on your wheels might not make sense, but I'd be glad to know the details on yours as well. Beautiful upgrades by the way on your AR.
