But Achtuning sells 19" with 8" of width for ET30 wheels. If you go for genuine article, it's going to be 9.5" wide which is good for 275x30-19" tires. It also happens Bridgestone S-03 PP has a RF (Euro-speak for "XL" extra-load) tire in that size.

On the other hand the OEM RS6 wheel isn't cheap. I'd go for some iteration of BBS or HRE for that price.

www.vagparts.com located in U.K. should be able to get OEM RS6 wheels (I'd go for the special anthracite color that came with the RS6 Plus!)...

Agree, I would also go for anthracite color (as long as it holds up)

Default are you running 19x8 or 19x9 5 spoke reps on your car?

i see josh at achtuning has both 19x8 and 19x9 available for sale in the rs6 euro 5 spoke reps. would the 255/35/19 fit on 19x9?

Default We have done both the 4.2 had 19x9

It really depends on the tire chosen, we did this car over a year ago and there was only Continentals available. They run small and really didn't fill out the 19x9. I did a set of Goodyear's tonight and they were much better.
