Default Staggered Black Rims!

Im thinkin of getting some 18" Tork Imagine staggered rims.
Front: 18 x 8
Back: 18 x 9
Offset: 35 mm
Bolt Pattern: 5x112

Do you think these will work with no rubbing? Will it mess with the AWD? Anyone who know anything post it or if you just wanna comment on the rims. They'll be goin on a 1999 Audi A4 1.8 T / 5 spd / quattro / Black on Black / 10% tint /debadged / RS4 Front Bumper / V1 Side skirts.

It's going to mess with your understeer (i.e. make it even worse)

You think I should stick with the 18x8 front and back?

Yup. Having more grip in the back is bad for Audi's

the rolling diameter will be different as well, unless you compensate with tire size

yeah they'll be different unless you get it close with the tire size, its never going to be exact if you stagger them. it definitely won't help understeer any as well, i love the look of the staggered wheels, but there's no way in hell i would add even more understeer to one of these pigs.

Ya i think im gonna go with the 18" nonstaggered possibly space them out a bit in the back for a little wider stance and go with an adjustable height suspension.

good idea, also, another bonus to non-staggered...you can rotate them
