Just checking here first to see if anyone has a used (or new) set that they like to sell.
Going 19x9 et35 (final et of 25mms) on the old axles. Heard these H&Rs have been used before on an allroad too.
TIA

I'd suggest running a 20mm spacer all around.
10mm would put you at ET35, HOWEVER you are adding and inch and a half to the width of the wheel.
In fact I'd even say try and run a 25mm spacer to compensate for tire width.
What tire do you plan on using?

He is adding roughly 38 mm to wheel width. Halve it, and you have 19 mm added to each side of the wheel.
With a 10 mm spacer, stock offset is matched, but the wheel is still 19 mm in on the inside compared to stock.
Thus to provide identical inner clearance as the factory wheel, a 29 mm spacer is needed.
HOWEVER. People run 8.5" wheels with 25 mm offset just fine without any spacers. Since the wheel is only 0.5" wider, a 15 mm spacer may suffice but is safer to go with 20.

Thanx for the input guys...
I'm currently running OE RS6 9 spoke 18x8.5 et30 with no spacers or issues, 255mm wide tires.
The rims I am putting on for the summer are presently OE RS6 5 spoke 19x9 et35...so I figured a 10mm would be all I need to clear the backside (with a final offset of OE spec 25mms). Also will mount 255mm wide tires.
I worry if I push the rims out anymore (like adding a 20-25mm spacer) there will be issues with outside fender rubbing.

How tall are the tires? Are they 255/45-R18?
Someone was running RS6 wheels AND rubber on his Allroad without clearance issues, but that's not saying much, since A6's tire size is much shorter than Allroad's...

No, the 18s have 255/40s (RS6 size)...the 19s will have 255/35s (also an RS6 size).
But I have changed my mind (at least for this week)....the 19x9s will go on the RS6 (since they are OE to the model). I have a set of 19x9 et29 2008 RS4 rims with 255/35s that I will throw on that do not need spacers to fit; I think they will look good enough....but they are such a PITA to clean with all the spokes, as compared to the simple 5 spokers.
