No they will not rub on the outside at all. I run a 19x8.5 with ET32 and no problems with clearance.

Default I have 19"x8" ET35 wheels on my S8, with 245/35/ZR19 rubber, no interference problems so far.

<center><img src="http://www.maddock.uzipp.com/vroom/S8/19s/thumbnails/tnDSC01387.JPG"></center><p>Yes I know it should be 245/40/19 instead of 245/35/ZR19, but thats only 3.6% off and thats the tires that came on the wheels :-D So far ride isn't that bad :-D

Default You could go a number of different ways

245/40/19 gives you nearly exactly same size as stock 245/45/18

255/40/19 gives you 1.3% larger tire, 255/35/19 gives you 2.5% smaller.

I'd rather err on the smaller side (less speeding tickets, less weight, oh-so-very-slightly better acceleration from lower gearing (higher numerically) )

Of course if you live in an area with bad roads, go with more sidewall...

Personal preference I guess

No complaints about Yoko Advan Sports with a lot of tread left on them. Got the tires and wheels together for $1200 delivered (in nearly perfect shape), saved me quite a bit over buying new, for sure!
