265/35 18's on 18x9.5 wheels. 35mm offset with 11 mm spacer (to clear my shock/spring setup)...
Or 24mm offset and it put's it right at the edge of the fender. It rubbed so slighly on the driver's side that I just yanked the fender lip out gently (by hand) and no more rubbing. A 10mm spacer would have been perfect, but I didn't have one. I had 8 and 3's.
But for other setups, 8mm will work - just like Joe's at Vortex since he runs the same size tire I think.
Front is 255/40R17 on 17x8's, 35mm offset with 15mm spacer. I can't fit the 18 wheels in there without a fender change - and we didn't want to mess up the looks on our TT.
The color is slightly off front to rear wheel, but I will have a paint shop redo the centers and rims.

GOOD LORD!
Thats massive, the thing I love about my Z28 having 335's just ultimate amounts of meat at the rear end! 
I run 235/40's on the rear and they run ever so little - but I didnt want to put spacers on there.
HOT SETUP THOUGH!

Yes, our little TT is jealous of the GM cars packing all that meat on the rear :D
The 235's will fit on a 18x9.5 rim also. In fact, they look even fatter
I have a stack picture of 235 tires from our old 18x8 wheels alongside 235 tires on our A4's 18x8.5 wheels. The tires look 1" fatter just with the fatter wheels.

Pretty much. I was hoping I can get an 18x8.5 wheel up front to match the rear, but no deal
The front has a slightly smaller rolling diameter but for freeway cruising (front wheel drive mode), it's fine. On the AutoX, it makes the fronts slip faster and turn on the haldex sooner. The car gets loose (like to drift) on corner exit under power.
