Default C6 wheel back spacing and offset

Does anyone know the actual C6 wheel back spacing dimension and wheel offset in MM ?? Any help would be appreciated, dealership inquireings are useless.

Right now I have a (temp) set of C6 wheels on my car.. and I can tell you that It needed a small spacer to actually fit.. The rear wheel is seriously offset to the inside of the car... Sorry I cant be of more help.

I'm thinking of putting the 06 setup on my 02 A4 and just wanted to get all the info correct before I spend the $$$. After market C6 wheels have a 10mm difference in offset, I'm not sure if thats true for the factory wheels though?

Can you post a close-up of the rear hub? It looks good from a distance anyway.

What's your impression of how they ride on the street?

I can take pics later today. the EMT's are a big improvement over the C5 EMT's.. much better traction and not so noisy.
