Default Largest wheel/tire on allroad

What is the largest size wheel/tire combo that can be put on an allroad?

Would a 255/35/19 on the RS6 replica (with the spacer) work? Is there anyone out there that is running the 19" replicas? Pics if you do)

Or is the 245/45/18 be a far better choice?

.....reason for asking, I am having a heck of a time finding some winter wheels (yes I know its July ) so I was looking at some 18" or 19" replica wheels and keeping the 17" for some winter tires.

Suggestions?

wheels are 20x8.5's with 35et + 20mm spacers = 15et

bolts 45mm

tires 245/35/20 you could go 255 no problem, & probably 265, or 275 even

245's eh? can you shoot a pic from the back so that I can see the "footprint" and the width of the rubber on the tarmac? (please shoot the pic from bumper level or lower from circa 15-20' back) thanks

those of you that are running spacers, ever have any vibration issues?

I am trying to the get the RS6 replica in a 19x8.0 ET30, but it says I would need a 15mm spacer to make it fit - and according to the wheel place, it causes bad vibrations at around 100-115km/h
