Default Tires

Hi all, currently own 2022 S5 with 255/35/19. I am Buying new set of wheels 19x9.5 30mm offset. I do prefer a bit of an aggressive look I see with all of the pics with 20" wheels.
I have a few questions. would you guys recommend a 265/35/19 or is the 275/35/19 the better option? Is a 30 mm offset ok or should I be using some spacers for a more aggressive look? Will not be lowering the car.

Thanks
KM

Yes, the 275/35/19 will be perfect, the car really enjoys them. The ride is comfy and the handling is superb.

The wheels are: BBS CHR 9.5x19x34
Michelin PS4S Tire: 275-35-R19

The wheels came with spacers and bolts from BBS. The spacers are 10mm or 0.39 inches.

Wow, that looks really good. So the Rohana wheel I am getting has an offset of 30- 19x9.5. Would you suggest a 5mm space to basically get to a 25 offset? I see so many different offsets guys are running on all these wheels. I guess its subjective. I guess flush is ideal. Appreciate your assistance.

Thanks, and happy to help. You could run a 5mm spacer (0.2 inches) but I'm not sure you would notice it, other's may chime in about using this size spacer. You could just find a wheel with the perfect offset so you would not need a spacer. However, if properly applied (correct bolt size for spacer) there is nothing wrong with spacers. Good Luck!

Hello again, I thought I was set on the Rohanna wheels 19x9.5 30ET, but went to a local shop and they recommended some wheels (Black Diamond and Stance). They stated they will customize the offset to my liking so no spares would be needed if I decide to go that route. I did communicate with Stance and they said I need to go to a 22et in front to clear brakes. Will that be too much of a Poke in your opinion?

My question to you would be the following. In your opinion (since I have no expertise in this) what would be the perfect ET for this set up?
19x9.5 wheel
275/35/19
265/35/19

Thanks again, never though buying wheels was such a process LOL
