Default Wheels and AWD?

Can u run a staggered setup on a quattro or will this mess up the awd? Do i have to run a certain offset for a quattro?

35mm is the offset of most wheels made to fit a B5 A4 q.

yes offset deals with how far out/in your wheels go from center. you can pretty much run any offset as long as they fit.

+1. You can absolutely run a staggered offset, but you don't want to indiscriminantly throw any sized tires you want on there. If you're going to stagger the wheels, make sure you select tires that have very close to the same rolling diameter all around. Long as you do that, you can run whatever will fit under the car.

Sorry about that I thought I read that staggered set ups couldn't be run on quattro.I think it may have been the thread where Audi05 put pics of his new wheels. i didn't mean to steer someone incorrectly.
