I've searched a few threads and googled quite a bit but not found a 100% answer

I have a 2005 A3 2.0Tfsi quattro
And found some wheels of this spec

18x8.75 all corners
ET35

Would they fit with no major work and also what tyre size would be recommended

Thanks in advance

ET35 is too much. You can make it fit, but not easily. Find ET43-45. For that offset, use 225 tyres and appropriate width rim.

So the 18x8.75 will fit just aslong as the offset is around ET43-ET45

8.75" is quite rare width, 8.5" is more common and it will fit. But keep in mind, that 8.5J rim and 225 tyre will make stretch, which is nice looking but not safe nor recommended by manufacturers.

I know the 8.75 is bit different

I've seen the XXR530 and think they would suit but I don't want loads of stretch or camber as it's a daily car and want as much of my tyre on the floor
