New wheel and tire fitment
About to go with some new wheels and just want to get some input on this fitment - would be greatly appreciated.
19x8 et45 (with 15mm spacer)
19x9.5 et53* (w/wo 5mm spacer)
245/40 F. 275/35 R
Alternatively I could downsize tire width in both front and rear - but I like a bit of beef on my tires.

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!

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.

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).

@Albanmtexas what size wheels/offset are those? Looks really good.
