^ sigh. you need to reverse the spacers due to the wider width in the rears. you need to incorporate the width of the wheel in determining how flush it would be to the fender. therefore you put the wider spacers in the front and the less wider spacers in the rear because you are running 9" width in the rears and 8" width in the front.

and you will have that staggered look no matter due to the wider lip in the rear

make sense [&:]?

ahhh , I see said the blind man...
makes sense now.
as far as width in the rear, would 9's be too wide?

^ 9's would be fine. but you want to keep a what... inch maximum widthdifference between the front and the rear?

anything over inch difference will put a ton of strain on the quattroâ„¢ system

^ you CAN. within an inch. it'll work but anything wider would strain the quattro.
