My 2 cents, worth even less
Wheels plus tires = big $$$ plus long term delta tire cost 19 vs 20 or 21, and ride quality impact

Get proper spacers
H&R springs and keep drc, f -20 mm, rear -15 mm
Get oem wheels refurbished if necessary

Imo that setup looks really good

If you go with new wheels buy good quality and without lowering you may not be fully satisfied

I've mounted 20" RS5 wheels with no spacers. Sure you've seen photos of this set up before but if not I'll post some later.

Others have fitted 20" C7 RS6 wheels but think they need spacers.

Others have fitted same design, width and offset as oem wheels but the 20" version with and without spacers.

Don't think I've seen any 21s though. Or maybe there was one car that had them and looked over wheeled.

Stop press. It has finally happened. Mike has admitted a car has wheels that are too big. :!:

To fit those you’re going to need tyres, spacers and probably spigot rings

I did mention these wheels in my response above. But Daytona is right you will also need spigot rings and probably tyres too.

Spigots should be 57.1 to 66.6.

Not sure on spacers. Depends how low you see but best to speak to one of the guys that has done it already.

It's snug because you have much wider tyres. Those are 275 wide rather than 255 wide.
