Default Wheel Question

Hey was wondering if i could run a staggered set of wheels?

Specs: 19x8.5 in front and 19x9.5 in rear 20mm offset all around

Are the too big and too wide??? Need opinions if they will or won't work.

if you're lowered, you'll probably have fender rubbing issues depending on the tire sizes and if you're fenders are rolled. especially with 19s. you can run staggered wheels as long as the tires are the same size or at least the heights are not different by over 3%

You're going to need a lot of camber in the rear to run those wheel specs...

won't that mess with the quattro? (if you have quattro)

it says in the owners manual that it will cause problems with the computer system that controls the quattro.

correct me if i'm wrong, but it kind of makes sense

yeah you need to keep the tire heights within a 3% difference
