Default would this setup work?

i know that i will need wheel adapters but i wanted to put the porsche turbo wheels on my car.

i can get them as a set for about 700 shipped

the specs are 5x130 52 OR 43 mm offset 18x8 for fronts and 18x10 for rears

will the rears clear? and is that good for the quattro or bad?

or should i just try to get 4 18x8's?

you can get adapters to go from 5x130 to 5x112 they will be about 20mm, which will but your offset at about et 23 or et 32.. which means those 10's will be poking way too much

you cant put staggered wheels on an audi unless you compensate for the different rolling diameter with different size tires 1010tires.com has a tire size calculator, use it and make sure the rolling diameters on the tires are within 5% of each other

10's would be way too wide for your B5 without some serious modifications to the rear fenders. You're also talking a difference in anywhere from 40-60mm in tire width depending on the tires you pick. IIRC, Porsche 18x8's usually run 225/40ZR18 and 18x10's run 265/40ZR18 or 285/40ZR18. That's a massive difference in tire width, which will not be well suited for your Quattro equipped car.

i thought that would be the problem. so stay with the adapters and the 18x8 which come with a 46 or 52mm offset
