I have a 2013 S6. I am looking at a second hand set of rims and winter tires. The size is 19X8.5 5-112 ET35. Everything is fine as far as I know but the offset. I am not sure if I would run into issues. These wheels came off a S5.

Check on Fitment Industries a little hunting arojnf there will yield the answer.

The Audiworld website has a wheel size calculator under the tools tab. The offset on the S5 is 35 and the offset on the S6 is 45 so it will stick out 10 mm more which probably won't be a problem. Wheel-size.com lists the wheel sizes for most cars btw.
FWIW when going to a non-S6 specific wheel OE or aftermarket you have to be careful of design(spoke) as that is what seems to be most problematic with the S6 giant brake calipers, not just offset.
I'd post pictures and ask if anyone on this forum has run those specific wheels on an S6 and ask on the S5 forum if anyone has ever run them on an S6 as well. It might be the only way you could find out short of test fitting them yourself.

Very true. I tried a set of OZ wheels and it was just too tight. The factory Wheels are a tight fit but they work.

6 piston brembos and 400mm rotors are no joke
