Wheels look ok, spec is good. You might not even need spacers for the rear. Just make sure you get good quality balanced spacers up front. I have an idea on how you feel about tires... i think i've read some of your posts re bent rims. You're probably paranoid by now.
Tires, with what you've gone through i would personally go with f: 235/40 r: 265/35. With non-runflat tires keep the tire pressure between 38-40f, 36-38r.
Although I run on 20's, with lower sidewall heights. I found the best ride and traction combo for me is at f:38psi, r:36psi, and i've never bent any of my cheap taiwan made (haha) rims.
Btw, have your alignment done after. Choose a reputable tire and alignment place. Its ok, if you have to pay extra. For as long as they specialize in alignment.
good luck!

Yeah - after a bit more research, using the C63 as reference, I think et51 is going to sit great (I already have the 5mm so I have them on standby).
I went with a Hankook v12 evo2 as I do 15k+ a year and feel I will get a bit more bang for my buck than a PSS or PS4.
I have a few friends who ran them on their Audi's and were very pleased.

Such good advice - so hard to follow haha.
Definitely doing an alignment. Might line up with 20k prepaid service with the swap (assuming 20k service includes an alignment - or at least alignment check). I will, otherwise, get one performed.

stock wheels are garbage. I have had 3 tires and 4 wheels replaced in 15k miles.
What, are you off roading in the thing? My tires/wheels are in perfect condition @6k and I don't see it going any different in the future **Knocks on wood**

honestly, I think I have a bad batch of wheels. I do have the 19's as opposed to the 18's but still it's a bit ridiculous.
I am extremely careful and have never bent a wheel in my life before this car.
