Rim offsets and parking brake

Dave-
Ingo has some good suggestions.

A general rule that I've gone by that has served me well is to look for
wheels that will clear the S4tt brakes. By selecting either the A6 2.7T
or the S4tt and using wheels that will fit those cars, I've had no
problem
finding appropriate wheels.

Of course, this does not give you any 15" options, although I don't know
if
you're looking for 15" wheels. Very few 16" wheels will clear the S4tt
brakes, I suspect more will clear the UFOs.

Offset is not necessarily a factor, considering that I have S4tt wheels
on
my 200 and they easily cleared the UFOs as do my Porsche calipers now.
The question that I need answered is whether AZEV Type As will clear my
brakes-
I suspect not, but have to test-fit to make sure.
