Default 19" wheels/tires fit question

I've already searched and I was unable to find the answer to this. I'm looking at a set of 19" wheels/tires and I want to make sure they will bolt right up without any issues. The size is 19 x 8.5, 5 x 112 bolt pattern and an offset of +35. This is going on my '01 A8L.
Does anyone know for sure?

Default Yep, they'll fit

You also have to check to see what the hub bore is....Mercedes and Audi both have the 5 x 112 pattern....but the Mercedes bore is larger, if these are Mercedes wheels, you'll need hubcentic adaptors.

Thanks for the quick reply. They are coming off an Audi but I wanted to make sure before committing to them.

Default Paul is correct again, They will fit. I run P25540R19 on a19X8.5 ET 32 with aluminum hub rings.

Even if they came off an Audi, I would find out the hub bore size. If it's 57.1 mm, it's a direct fit but if it's Mercedes 66.6mm, you will need hub rings to ensure a smooth ride.

Sorry if this is lame, but is there some sort of list/guide of sizes that will bolt on with no adapters? The ones I was looking at are gone but I've found some stock S4 wheels (5 x 112, 18" x 8", +45 offset) that look good.
Thanks for any help.

Will +45 offset work as well? I found this chart but it seems to say that +35 is the only option:

AUDI
Model P.C.D. Offset C/Bore
80, 90,100 4 x 108 35...42 57.0
100 (90&gt 5 x 112 35...42 57.0
A3 5 x 100 30...40 57.0
A4, A6, A8, V8, S2, S4, S6 5 x 112 35 57.0
TT 5 x 100 28...30 57.0

I'm hoping a wheel taken off an S4 (5 x 112, +45) will bolt right on to my A8 without any issues.

ET45 won't always fit. 8J RS4 9-spokes won't clear calipers because the spokes protrude more inwards
