Default Allroad with RS4 DTM 19"

I've been looking for a set of wheels and think I've settled on these. I'm torn between 18" and 19" though.I love the look of the 19s, but I'm worried they'll look like crap after road scrapes and what not.
Take a look...

Can the allroad's computer be adjusted to accomdate the changein overall wheel/tire diameter? Can it be done thru VagCom? It would be nice to put on a big set of snowsfor the winter.

From what I've read, its possible to adjust the suspension to accomodate. o I don't know if I'd have any problems with the 19's being too tight in the lowest setting, but its something I'm wondering about.

Anyone here adjust their suspension when going with bigger wheels?

If you go with lower wall height on the tires to compensate for the increase wheel size, then the overall size will be the same and you won't need to recalibrate the speedo.

You can recalibrate the speedo, but I don't know how its done.
