So i started looking for wheels, and i love how the staggard setup looks. However, i realized that the quattro system may not like it. if i get a 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 in the rear, im gonna have a hell of a time finding a tire that is gonna have the same sidewall height. So, how sensitive is the awd system? if i have a front tire (235x40) which turns out to be 94mm in height and a rear tire (265 x35) which comes to a 92.75mmheight,is that going to affect the performance of the awd?


an aside note - are the Axis Supermesh wheels discontinued? I'm having a hard time tracking any down, so if you know a place selling them let me know please.

 

there is alot of write ups on staggered setup with the awd drive setup maybe do a search instead of this post....

 

touche, however i would still like to know the status on the axis supermesh

 

No.. you will not be able to match so its a bad idea... Why not just get wheels done with a custom offset to give a staggered appearance.

Not to mention without widebody, you aint fitting 9.5 in back.

 

Your goal is to make the S4 handle much, much worse?

If you don't have ESP the difference in rolling diameter is not as important. But it will work the center diff more.
On any car with ESP, it will drive the system nuts. Either way it needs to be really close.

How would we know about production on the rims? WHY DON'T YOU contact Axis, or a retailer to find out.

 

calm the fvck down

its always easier to ask first than call and try to find it out, isnt it?

 

We have talked about staggered setups many times, if you ask questions that have been beaten to death, expect some sarcastic answers.

I am calm, not only did I answer your question, I also directed you where to find your answer on the rims.

YOU my friend are the one that needs to calm down.

 

anger problems?

why would it be easier to ask a dumb question first???when you can just call and get the answer right off the start on the phone with a maufacturer????

dont ask stupid questions you wont get stupid answers.....

 

No. If im making a post about wheels, and as an aside question i would like to know the status of a wheel, i may as well ask right? if some one knows, they know. if not, then ill ask else where. People dont have to give me an attitude. And speaking of beating a dead horse, which i did by asking about the staggard wheels by mistake (and i acknowledged in the second post) you guys dont have to keep on saying bad idea, dont be stupid, and other rude comments when it was already said once and i acknowledged it. seems like you're the ones beating the dead horse here...
