Default Fender Clearance on B9 VS B8/8.5

Does anyone know if there are differences in the fender for these different models? I'm trying to find some spacers for my Allroad, but most of the lowered AR's I see are B8.5/8. If its the same clearance, then I can calculate based on wheel width and offset.
I'm running 19 X 8.5" et40 with 245/40/19's. Lowered on EMD springs.
To me, it looks like I need different size spacers for the front/rear and stagger them. I was thinking 10mm in the front and 15mm in the rear.
TIA.

This picture was taken before I lowered it, but gives you an idea.

Thanks Noggybowl. I think you have experience with both generations.

So, I have attached pictures of my 20x10 ET25 on both my B8 A4 and B9 allroad. I will also attach a pic of a 20x10 ET25 wheel on a B8.5 allroad. The B8.5 has the ability to have the lowest offset and widest wheel combination. The B9 allroad is wider than a B8 A4, but maybe about 3-5mm higher offset is desired. With your 19x8.5 et40 and the tires you have, I would guess you can do a 20mm rear and 15mm front spacer if you want to be a little staggered. Worst case, get a set of 15mm put them on, gauge if the next set will be a 10mm or a 20 mm?

Great info Noggybowl. I’m gonna go ahead with 15/20 front/rear and see how that works. I’ll post some pics so fellow B9 owners can calculate what they want.
