A6 19" Le Mans wheels on A4 S Line

[Lexmat]

i tried looking thinking this would be a route some had gone but couldnt find anything.

ive been offered some 19" Le Mans for a decent price, they have an offset of 48 and are 19 x 8.5 and come with 245/40/19 tyres

my A4 has the 18" S line wheels of the same multi spoke design, and an offset of 43

so i guess for the wheels to fill the arches i would need spacers front and rear as the 19" wheels will sit further in.

has anyone gone this route, if so what size spacers did you use, and where is the best place to get them, and is the tyre size ok

id hate to get these wheels and end up having loads of agro considering my wheels are pretty good with great tyres

as always pictures paint a thousand words

cheers

I had 19inch RS6 alloys on my A4 Sline.
I ran 235wide tyres all round and have always been under the impression that anything wider would require spacers. I never tried wider than 235 so couldn't confirm if that is actually the case.
In my case they slotted straight on without spacers.
