You may find they sit too far in the arches without spacers.

Yeah 50 is quite a far in offset. Depending on what they are going on 9" is pretty wide.

So higher the offset the more tuck?
The alloys are off an Audi Q7 and going on an Audi A4

Yup, higher offset means they sit further in, dont forget adapters will be 15-20mm so will make the offset 30-35

surely the spacers will increase the offset and push the wheels even further out?
offset is measured from the centreline no?

Offset is measured from the centre line, but the lower the offset the further out the lip is.

exactly, +ve offset higher the number the further out from the centreline so the further in the wheel.
hence why a 206 alloy sits too far in on a 306 (offset on a 206 is larger than a 306). So by adding spacers you are lowering the offset and pushing the wheel outwards.
