I got a 2004 Allroad 2.5TDi.

I picked up a set of OE 9 spoke RS6 wheels - 18x8.5J ET30... (I think they are the same as the old B5 RS4?) I plan on fitting these with 10mm spacers.

Now what tyres do I put on? Obviously the narrower I go, the cheaper it'll be, but I don't want it to look silly.

Will I get away with 235/50R18, or do I need to go up to 245/45R18?

For 18" rims, 245/45/18 seems to be the preferred size.

on the 8.5 inch wide rim, use at least 245s.

I used 15mm spacers w/ 245/45/18 on my 18x8.5 RS6 replicas

what was the offset on those wheels? I'm looking at some 18x8.5 wheels with ET35 and was going to try and figure out if it would work and what spacers I'd need.

These are the spacers that you bolt on to the car and you bolt the wheels to the spacers.
