Default Wheels for 2017 A3

Hello - I'm looking to get a set of Winter wheels for my 2017 Audi A3 Quattro Sedan. I was looking at the DAI Replica R36 (https://www.1010tires.com/Wheels/DAI...nted/Gunmetal/) - how do I know if these fit? The site claims they will, but I'm not clear why there are multiple offsets available (e.g. 42 and 35 for 18").

Audi A3 stock wheels are 43 mm offset for 17x7.5, and 46 mm for 18x8. A smaller offset will "fit" but the wheel may stick out a tiny bit. More of a risk is if you are putting a wheel with larger offset than stock, which may cause the wheel to touch things it shouldn't be touching (spacers can be added to compensate this).

Thanks - so it looks like if I'm fairly close to the 46mm offset for an 18" wheel, then I should be good.
