Would someone happen to know which of the two rim sizes, if not both, fit the S3 with stock suspension without rubbing any arches or the suspension system? My main concern with ET46 is that it might get in the way of the suspension and with ET32 that it will stick out too much?

I am unable to get the measuring done on my car at this point in time but need to soon order rims so any help much appreciated.
 
I'm sure my fronts are 8.5 et 40 odd not sure exactly. I'll grab a side profile pic for you at some point this morning
 
I'm running 8.5x19 ET 45 lowered on H&R Springs with no issues at all not sure about the ET 32 tho might be too much??

J6YAK do you use any spacers? Could you upload a few images of how the rims look from different angles? Cheers buddy.
 
Same as J6YAK. No spacers. Not lowered yet. 8.5 x 19 ET45 seems to be the glove that fits the S3 SB perfectly with no apparent issues.

Louay, What is the brand/model of your wheels? They look great.
