Hi Peeps as title says will these wheels fit?

19" with 10j lip at the back and 8.5j at the front.

Stud pattern:5 x 112 is obviously perfect

Offset: Et20

Two rear tyresone have tires which are 255/38/19.
 
No mate! Upwards of ET40+ and 9J max on the rear to run without issues
 
yea, man speaks the truth, my wheels are 9j et41 im going with a 6mm spacer, but i have 215 tires on, so et35 maximum, and on the front et41 is probably a tiny bit too much!

yes tyre size (stretch) will change the tolerances of width and ET
 
So will these wheels not fit with them being ET45?

8.5Jx19 ET45 and ET35

PCD 5x112

CB 66.6mm with spigot rings to reduce the CB to 57.1mm (What is this)
 
Audis centre bore (the hub) is 57.1, Mercedes is 66.6. Its a plastic ring that sits in the back of the wheel to locate it to the hub.

ET45 will be fine.

ET35 will sit out from the arches a bit. Theres some guys on here running ET35 but with 215/35/19 tyres

will you get away with ET35 with 225 or does it restrict how much you can lower?
 
My wheels are ET45, 8.5" wide, 225/40/18 tyre (so very slight stretch). On the rear its within a few mm of rubbing on the screw (which I removed incidentally)/ plastic around it that locates the bumper to the 3/4 panel. See my recent thread for pics.

ET35 would rub with a 225 tyre for sure.
 
ET35 will rub with a 215, well depending on how low you are.

Based on the very minimal clearance I have with a 225, I'd agree with that. I was thinking yesterday if I could get away with a 10mm spacer (Taking the wheels to ET35) and a 215 tyre, but I reckon it would catch.

I guess the maximum I could go is ET 40 with a 215 tyre, to obtain the same clearance as ET 45 with a 225 tyre.
