Wheel Help - 19x8, 30mm offset with 5 mm spacers, will this work on my 01' allroad?
Im looking to purchase some wheels this week and I went to Lakeshore Wheel and Tire and they have a set of 19x8 RS6 reps with a 30mm offset and come with 5 mm spacers with shipping for $843. Was wondering if this would work or not?

Here is what worked for me, 19" X 8.5" X 25et needed 3mm spacer..
at front, none at back. The front spacer was needed only due to the 255/40R tires I run. The rubber was just barely touching the upper control arm.
Definately have them Road Force balanced. I am curious as to how these work out for you. I like the style & price.

It might
We have some Italian RS6-172s from Hartmann available in 19x8.0" ET 35, they'd look perfect on an allroad with 15mm spacers. The cost would be more but with the already prone to vibration allroad it might be worth it over Chinese made wheels with little hub centering surface left after 5mm spacers are added.

They are bolt on spacers I assume. Consultant said thats what the last person with an allroad had purchased going by their database, so I guess it worked. I could always get the wheels and then get different spacers if need be. If anyone has tried this or has suggestions let me know? They sell the same wheel with 35mm offset but have none in stock at moment.

I have 19x8.5 w/255/40. Needed 15mm spacer in front. You need
a HUB Centric spacer not BOLT centric. I bought H&R bolt centric from PURE MS and they vibrated like crazy.
Went to a wheel shop and they had custom hub centric 15mm spacers made for $50. Vibration gone.
Good luck

Couldnt I just get the wheels and put larger spacers to bring them out?
Factory wheel is 25 offset so the new wheel would be a 30 offset and 5 mm would bring it back to stock. Couldnt I get a 15mm bolt on spacer to correct everything and bring it 5 mm outside of the stock wheel?
