Wheel fitment

[Rad-RS6]

Considering picking up some 19" wheels. When i searched the forums and places like tirerack, i have I have seen listed in various places 19 x 9 and 19 x 8 1/2, and ET 35 and ET 38. Also read somewhere that tirerack sold somone else a set of tires which did not fit (rubbed his fenders i believe), so what's the bottom line?

Could you help a newbie out and just tell me what the proper fitment would be in 19"?

And while we're at it, what size tire on them?

Thanks in advance...

Leaving aside the fact that price is a a bit off, would these fit?

I ran Kinesis 19x9 with Dunlop Sport SP 9000 and rubbed the inside front tire walls. Fortunately, only a low speed blow out occured. I measured everything and the wheels appeared to fit, but dynamically, they didn't. So, I sent the wheels back and had the inside rims replaced to make 19x8.5 of all four wheels. No further problem.:vhmmm:

Be careful.

These wheels were custom made for the RS6. JP4 worked with Kinesis to custom make these wheels to ensure fit to the RS6. I think there a couple other owners who use these wheels. If you want these exact wheels contact JP4 or myself.
