Default will they fit? 19x10 et 35 or 48?

As the title states, will 19x10 et35 or et48 fit on my a4?

i know 19x8et35 would be ideal for a b5, and ill go that route if need be, but the wheels i am looking at comes in a 19x10et35 as well as 19x10et48 for significantly cheaper than there 19x8et35.
im not sure why there pricing is like this, but thats what there cite is listing.

if it makes any difference ill likely put raceland coils on the same time as wheels, dont want to go super low, but low enough to eliminate wheel gap. as well dont care to run too much stretch or poke, but dont mind doing minor fender rolling

I wouldn't even bother with ET48 even with 8" wide wheels... they would need spacers.
I ran 235/35/19 on 19x8 ET35 and this required the front fenders to be rolled, with a mild 1.3" drop.
TBH I wouldn't even try 19x10. You would likely need spacers to clear the spindle, but would then need 225 or less width tires to clear the fender. And you'd probably have a ton of poke with the wheel which may damage your fender depending on how low the car is and where/how you drive.
