By car specific, I mean all wheels for the car are ideally x offset.
By wheel specific, I mean the ideal offset depends on the style of the wheel.

To address your question more directly, though, offset is technically vehicle-specific. The same wheel design can come in a wide range of offsets and diameters, but only a limited number of offsets work for any given vehicle ... and even fewer offsets are optimal, given wheel width and brake requirements (clearance).

Don't confuse the fact that many aftermarket wheels use an offset that works with a wide range of applications, ET 35 as related to Audi products for example is a popular "standard".

So any wheels we look at for S4's (and A4's?) should be ET35, regardless of wheel design?
