Wheel Width
Considering ordering a set of wheels for my S6. However, I'm no wheel guru so I don't know anything about offsets and whatnot. So I was wondering how wide we can go? I was thinking of doing 21x10.5's in the front and 21x11's in the rear. If not, then I'd at least like to do 21x10.5 all around. The reason why I'd like my wheels to be wider is because wider means deeper concavity. And I'd like to have the most concavity possible. I know the offsets would definitely have a role in this as well, again I don't know anything about offsets. All I know is I'm not trying to run stretched tires or crazy offsets. And definitely not trying to go through tires every month. I'm function over form.

My HREs will be 21x9.5" ET40 with 265/30/21 Michelin Pilot Super Sports. You can go wider, but you'll start to run into limited choices for tire widths. Personally I'm not a fan of the stretched look...

Nice choice of wheels. What finish? I assume you were not able to go full SC because of the brakes, or does the 21" afford enough room in the concave format? I was not able to go SC with my 20" wheels for this reason.
