Default What's the offset?

You really should run a 235/35/19 tire on that size wheel.

35mm + 6mm spacer is far too wide.

Default that tire's also too narrow. it might not be stretched really, but use something like 245 on 8.5

otherwide you will get no rim protection, and you wont be getting the full advantage of wider wheels. stock wheels use a 225 tire and they're 7.5 wide. with 8.5 wide you're an inch wider, so get a tire that's an inch (~25mm) wider too, so 225 + 25 = 250... use 245 or 255

Those pics are the only ones I have right now but I'll snap a couple more if you want. As for pics of them on a B5, I've never seen them on one before except for these TWO but of course they are different finishes.
