I think you'll find quite a range of offsets "fit" a D3, from ET44 or higher through to about ET25.
The question is what will fit over your S8 brakes. I would estimate that the lower the offset, the better the brake clearance, though this also depends on wheel design.
You should be fine with an OEM type 19" wheel.
The only other issue with offset is what is the optimum for handling, as Audi will design the suspension for a specific track to provide for a particular steering geometry.
There will be a degree of tolerance in this, but the further away from the optimum track you get by either increasing or decreasing offset of the wheels (and thereby altering the wheels virtual centre), the more you decrease the optimum handling of the car.
It's all %'s of course.
