Considering the 19" Forged RS4 DTM 9-spoke wheels for my allroad
What do I need to consider before jumping into these wheels? According to the Hartmann web site it states +30 offset - what kind of spacers should I get (asthetics?). And of course the age old question, which rubbers are the best fit?
The car is currently running at stock height.

Re: Considering the 19" Forged RS4 DTM 9-spoke wheels for my allroad
If it's the rims in the link below, their site says the allroad needs 20mm spacer to fit correcty. If these aren't the ones you're talking about and they really are +30 offset, then something between 5-10mm spacer (smaller is better) would get them to fit. For tires size, 245/40-19 would be correct, but 245/45-19's could work also and might be easier to find. The speedo error would be more though; actual speed being 55 mph, indicated would be just over 53 mph. Still, you'd have more protection for your rims. Here's a cool calculator you can use to compare tire A with tire B. just put in the different sizes and hit submit for results.

Here is the link to the wheels . . .
Yes those are the correct type, but I was looking at the Forged ones on the Hartmann site (see Link). They state that they are 19x8.0" ET 30.
I will look into the 5mm spacers and 245/45-19's tires. Any suggestions as to the brand/model?<ul><li><a href="http://gallery.hartmannwheels.com/v/audi/forged9/">19" Forged RS4 DTM 9</a></li></ul>

Tires are like oil >
Meaning everyone has a favorite. I like alot of brands but at these sizes (19's) they'll be spendy. I like to buy my tires off e-bay but Hartmann has packages I think where tires are included. There are alots out there, maybe do a search here for more info.
