Tire Size Question
Ok. So I have 9.5" in the rear. I asked this question before but never really got a good response. Once again, what is the tire size I should have on a 9.5 rim without risk/fear of rubbing. I know standard is 275 but some ppl go lower..i.e. 265, 255, 245. Currently rims have 225 tires on them, but they are stretched really bad. Am scared if I hit a pothole, the tire will blow up or damage the rims.
Another concern is my car is Quattro. Since I have 8.5 rims in front on 225 tires. And 9.5 on the rear, if I go with lets say 265 tires. Will that give me the risk of ruining my Haldex unit? Since there is a 10% difference in tire size from front to rear.

Here is a couple pics of my old wheel and tire setup. Same width wheels as yours. 8.5 front 9.5 back, I ran 235/35 in the front, and265/30 out back. (you can see from the first pic there is little to no stretch
