I've done some calculations because I was interested in a 9.5 wheel for my A8. The 9.5 ET 38 would be perfect for the front but 10.5 ET38 would, in my opinion, too positive for my taste. I think a ET45 would clear inside and look tastefull.

19x10.5 ET38 will clear inside for sure, but I think it would stick out a 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch.

Default By my calculations, compared to my wheel, it would stick out 1 full inch past my wheel.

I looked at my car and I don't see how it would not scub under full suspension travel. In my onpinion, you would have to run a rear small tire for the wheel to work. Can you get something like a 45mm offset?
