Default Winter Tire Wheel Offset/ET

Hi! I just recently purchased a 2017 SQ5 Dynamic Edition with the 21" option. I love it so far but winter is coming so I need to make amends. I got a quote from Audi for the 19" package but $4000+taxes is too steep so the sales guy guided me to Hartmann.


I am have narrowed down to two choices but don't know about the correct offset? I've tried search the forms but cannot find what I need and I don't want to order the wrong offset. I will mount these with a 235/55/19 as recommended by Audi.


Choice 1 - https://www.essexpartscanada.com/pro...ibute_pa_et=25

They come in either a +25 or +47


Choice 2 - https://www.essexpartscanada.com/pro...ibute_pa_et=38

They come in +25/38/47


What is the preferred offset? Thanks in advance!

Just order from "Tirerack.com" and they will ship the correct wheels and tires, mounted and balanced. Easy, done. Discounttiredirect works too. I've used both.

Tirerack shipping to Canada for wheel/tire set was nearly $1000! Hartmann will ship to me out of BC for free.

ET25 will push the wheels out about 8mm which will help making the narrower wheel less tucked.

A lot of people run +25 offset. The other offsets probably won't clear your brakes, and you would have to run spacers.

As others have mentioned, ET25 would be the best bet. This is what my 19x8.5" ET32 with 235/55R19 looked like for fit. Have room to go more aggressive with lower offset.

Is that an 8.5" rim? Or an 8?
