Wheel sizing question

Will a 16x8 wheel with an offset of 50 fit an S5 convertible with 215/40ZR16 tires on them?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know the tires will work without messing up your speedo accuracy.As for rims not sure,try measuring the offset on your car first.

nope, need spacers...that is the exact size of the stock FD rim and it is too close to the suspension on the FC w/o spacers. people on the forum will know what size spacer to use...1/4 inch sounds right to me but don't take my word for it, research.

you would need close to an inch spacer to fit a 50ET offset 16x8 wheel
