Not sure what you are asking here. Anything 19x8J ET 32 - 46 will/should fit fine.
Are you asking what is the widest you can go without a spacer? In this case, I am using 19x8J ET32 on standard suspension without wheel arch problems - although I am not sure how it might be flooring it with a heavy load...

Specs and offset are all well and good, but the main problem with getting aftermarket wheels is the front caliper. Most wheel designs that should fit on paper will not have the right spoke curvature on the inside of the wheel to clear it, hence people needing spacers, me included...

Sorry. I should have explained myself better. What alloys have people fitted that clear the calipers without issue?

As Ozmosis has pointed out, it is not so much the size of the wheel. but the design that does not have too much meat on the insides of the spokes. For this, you really need to select a wheel you like and have a guarantee from the supplier it is suitable for the RS3. However, I think it safe to say that any decent 8J wheel should be OK with ET40.

Rotiform RSE 19x8.5 ET45 DON'T clear the calipers. At all. 19x8.5 ET45 RS6 'Peelers' and 19x8.5 ET43 BBS Speedlines both clear no problem (though oem, not aftermarket).

Thats interesting re:the Rotiforms, I like the look of the KPS, but worried now they are not gonna fit. Would yours have fit with a spacer?

They are, mine aren't ET48 though hence me not saying they were RS861. I don't know the specific BBS RS model of these ones, and they're Speedline built versions anyway so doesn't really matter what BBS would call them.
edit - Speedline S665

Hi, what make of tyres do you have, and what tyres do you have fitted sizes all round?
I have some Neuspeed wheels the same size & offset, but can't work out which tyre make & size to fit.
Thanks.
