Yea, but I'm afraid of having issues with spacers and I want the car to look its best for those 4-5 months of the year, we have a long winter season. Also since most of the winter driving is done on pavement I prefer wider winter performance tires.
This is all new stuff to me today, so forgive my newbieness but I believe offset is measured from the center of the rim to the mounting surface. A larger offset to OEM means a more recessed wheel. The Cavos' are 32 offset. |
If I understand correctly, 35mm instead of 32 would mean that the wheels are 3mm (1/8") more inside the well.

There is an illustrated calculator here https://www.willtheyfit.com/ So to get back to exact, these would work well and are high quality: |

Correct me if I am wrong, but these mount 3mm NARROWER per wheel not wider?

I resorted to buying Conti. DWS 06 175/30/20. I live in NYC and haven’t ever had an issue with those tires and winter weather. Obviously winters would be ideal but for me it was a great compromise.

I'm excited to have just purchased the first part of my S5 kit and got some single season use Michelin XI3 245/40R18's for much less than half retail. 85-90% of tread left 2017 DOT. Those and the Replika wheels means a nice winter setup for $1100 CAD all-in. I'm okay with that, as I've gone overboard with options for this damn car....

Well, i finally installed the wheels that i had picked up back in Feb. i am not that excited about the look (inset and filling the wheel well). But, since they are winter tires, and I’ll be driving around with a bunch of snow on the tires, and kicking up gravel... so I’ll probably just make do.

I think they look great. Sorry to hear you aren't excited about them
