Correct offset for 20" wheels

[Durham]

I am considering a set of winter wheels and tyres for my D3 S8. What is the correct offset assuming that I stick with 20" wheels. Is it possible to go down to 19" wheels (I think more tyre and less wheel better for winter rubber)? If so, does the offset change.

Maybe of interest, sorry I don't have the offset to hand but ET43 springs to mind.....

Thanks Paul. I could be very interested if only I can confirm that 19" wheels will fit the S8. By the way, the details in the ad actually says that they are ET44.

Mine were et43, I suspect et44 was also an OEM option as 1mm is very close Looking at the epc “google Audi parts catalogue” et40-45 seems correct.

I also suspect 19s will be fine, check the tyre pressure sticker as a quic reference or check epc to be sure.

Electronic parts catalogue Not sure if posting links is allowed, but google "Audi Parts Catalogue EPC" and you should find a few

The spare wheel on my S8 is a 19in, so I'm confident it will fit.
