19 " wheels and tyre combination

[steevee]

Hi
I am looking to put a new set of wheels and tyres on my A6 TDI S line.
The combination I am looking at are 19x8.5j WSP et 43 Italy giasone gun metal polished wearing
255/35/r19 tyres. Would this combination work ok ie no rubbing ? Has anybody had wheels from wsp Italy and what do they think ?

Cheers

yes that will work, standard sizes on some A6's

From memory my 19" are ET48 so not a great deal of difference. That offset will be fine but you may want to consider some spacers if you want a more aggressive stance, i.e. your rim's alignment with teh wheel arch.

Tyre size is spot on too as Rawtor says

Thx I thought they were but was just confirming before I order. Never had any expierence of spacers, How do I work out what spacers I will need and what sort of difference would they make to the way the wheels look and handling of the car ?

If you go from at et 48 to et 43 that's the equivalent of adding a 5mm spacer.
Im running with et 37 on mine. Some folk go down as low as et 32.
Best to get the wheels on the car and take it from there. Sus out what spacers you want simply by measuring how much more stick out you want.
Remember the further they stick out the lower the et
