I have decided to purchase some 19x8 RS6's with an et of 30 from custom wheels market. They sell Italian replica wheels and for a good price. With my stock wheel having an et of 25, which would be better to go with, 10mm or 15mm spacers?

I don't know of any 10mm spacers. But 15mm will work very nicely too.

I only needed a 3mm spacer at the front so my 255 tires would clear the control arm. Had I used 245/40/19 tires I would not have needed any spacers. Perhaps the 19" rim clears better than the 18". The best tire for your 8" rim is a 245. That being the case you only need a 5mm spacer. You can judge what clears by what Tire Rack sells for the ar, they research very thoroughly. I have to believe the thinner the spacer the less there is to attempt to balance. Make sure to Road Force balance.

Trying to make a decision today on RS6 5 spoke reps. I already ordered tires and want to get it all bolted up by the end of this week.
