im thinkin about buying staggered 19's from someone and had a few questions.

My car is a 2001.5 A4 tqm and the wheels i want are 19x9 front and 19x9.5 back.
Tire sizes are 235/35/19 up front and 265/30/19 on the rears. 2.5 offset in front and 3.5 in back

Now, will i have fitment issues with these sizes or will it be a good fit? The wheels were off of a b6 so this is why im wondering about this.

So if anyone with this type of setup, please help me out and a pic if you have it of what the rear wheel looks like would be appreciated

Also, would you need to make adjustments to the fenders at all??

 

a 265 tire is way too wide. a 235 is pretty much as wide as you can go.

i'm running 19x8 in front and 19x9 in the rear with 235/35/19s all around




i've since lowered the rear more, to where there is virtually no wheel gap, and i still have no rubbing issues.

 

if you have quattro you have to have the same size tire and rimes. It doesnt matter how wide they are.

not true. They have to be within about 3% rolling diameter of each other. i was running 18x8 and 18x9 with 225/40/18 and 235/40/18 for about 2 years with no problems. now i am running the same size tires on staggered wheelsbecause it gives a little stretch, and thats what i'm going for.

 

from what i have been told staggered rims + Quattro = bad news

 

there are many writeups about this on other forums.

the difference in width on the wheels has NO factor in rolling diameter, the only thing you want is to have the tires within about 3-4% rolling diameter of each other...otherwise you COULD run the risk of possibly messing up the quattro drivetrain.

like i said, i've been running this for about 2 1/2 years, put about35K on my car witha staggered setup, and no issues with the drivetrain.
