How wide of wheels could you put on, without looking stupid?

wheels or tires I think the widest you can go on your tires is a 235 maybe a 245 if you do not want to lower your car and without rolling the fenders and some people I have heard with 8.5" wheels

I have 235s on 8.5" wheels. I rubbed after dropping to race springs, but no rubbing with sport springs

I have 235's on 9" wheels and slammed, fenders sat on tires at first so I rolled, and slightly pulled (with a wooden bat), and trimmed out my fender liners. Looks exactly how I wanted

i got 235s on 8.5 x 19s. no dramas yet but i havent lowered it..no way 245s would fit on the front as there is only a couple of mm gap betwen the tyre and shock atm. 245s might go on the back though

Do you think 245s on the back and 235s on the front would look goofy?

no but the rolling radius would be different which is very bad for quattro. You can fit 9" max under the front withough fender flares
