AbnormallyAspirated

I have a 2017 A4 Premium with base (not sport or S-Line) suspension. I'm going to repurpose my factory 17" ET38 wheels as snow wheels, and buy aftermarket 18" or 19" wheels for 245 tires for summer.

What is the best offset or range of offsets. Most packages I see online are ET35, but the factory 8.0" wheels are ET40 I believe.

I've always understood that too much outset put undue stress on the bearings and also caused wheel pull. What is the best range of offsets for this car? I get that it will look better with more outset.

Open to input.
