Default Tire question.

Hey, I found a nice pair of ADRs for a decent price. But the front tire is 8.5" wide, and the backs are 9.5". I have a 98 a4 quatro, and was wondering if differnt tire widths would mess up any ratios or anything, caus I know that you cant have say 18" rims on the back and 17" on the front. Thanks for any help.

Default RE: Tire question.

you can pull it by using the same tire size all around. if you find a good rim shop they should be able to stretch the smaller tires onto the rears. then the diameter is the same and so is the surface cantact.
