I found some genuine 19'' RS6 alloys, they are 9J ET33.

My current set up:
225/40/18
Ronal 18'' 8J ET 43
Front 10mm spacer ET 33
Rear 15mm spacer ET 28
This set up sits pretty much flush

With 215/35/19 that would be around 10mm from the 9J ET33 lost right? Meaning they should fit? I'm probably way off no doubt.
 
So with the 215 would that be 2.7mm poke? I tried that site it doesn't take Tyre profile into consideration. I did 215/35/18 vs 225/40/18 same alloys and it said the poke would be exactly the same. Which is not true. I would have driven down there to try them on, but they have the wrong tyres fitted.
 
I don't think that works - a 225 and a 215 still have to stretch the same distance on a 9j wide rim - I.e. To the rim to hold air. Difference with the 215 is that as it's being stretched it's effectively being flattened. As such you're rounding off the corners to a certain extent which will interfere with the arch less lining less but I don't think it will be by exactly 10mm

Sorry not the easiest concept to explain so hope that makes sense!
 
I tried that one as well but it doesn't let you put in stretched tyres
 
Worth holding out for some 8.5J?

When you say RS6 do you mean segments? Sure I've seen some 8.5's come up on ebay

The concaveness of the 9J really makes or breaks this alloy design. Saw some for the Q5 which didn't look to bad, 8.5 et33 but they were 20ich.

Segments? Is that another name for them? I have only heard of RS6 and peelers.
 
Ok yes we're talking about the same ones then! :D

I know what you mean about the concaveness - do look great. I'd also been set on these alloys but had a change of heart the other day - they've not been done a lot which is what I liked!

If you fancy a challenge they also come in 21 inch...
