I like the black grill and window trim but don't like the titanium wheels and body colored mirrors. Too bad there is no option for just the black out parts.

I love the wheels, and you can get the OEM parts for the silver mirror covers for $795 or so if you wanted to bring it back to S6 look.

I did find this useful calculator:

If I plug in stock width and offset (8.5 & 45) with the new (9 & 40) it seems to fall within the range that most people (12MM) are adding spacers to push the wheels out. Am I on target here or missing something?
You are right on target. The 9" wheel with 40mm offset will be 11mm closer to the fender and 1mm closer to the suspension components. The ET29 wheels would be 22mm closer to the fender. From what I know, this still works. I know of someone running 20x9 ET 29 with 275/30/20 wheels and all seems to be fine. There is also someone here (forget who) that is running 20x9 ET 25 BBS wheels with 265/30/20 Michelin Pilot Super Sport and he seems to be fine too, although the tire sticks out just a tad too much IMO.

After researching, I think the perfect set-up for the S6 is a 20x9 wheel with a 35mm offset and 265/35/20 tires. That's what I will be doing, most likely.

Thanks for the input Vijay, much appreciated!
