Default what is the biggest 19" wheel and tire I can fit on my B5 S4??

Have a couple of questions for you pros out there. I am looking to get 19"x8.5" BBS LM reps with a 30mm offset. (I have rolled fenders and H&R coilovers).

1. I'm not sure if the company I'm getting the LM reps from carries 19x9 or 19x9.5 for the rear but if they did, what is the biggest wheel and tire fitment I can runin the rear?[/align][/align]2. Recommended tire size for the front?

3. Is staggered a good idea?

Thanks in advance for your advice![/align]

i have 18x8.5 with 245/40 rubber on it. IMO i would stick with 18" rims, i hear once you hit 19 you start to sacrafice ride quality and run into other little isues, not that it dosnt look sick.

8.5 CAN fit.. but it has to be right...... the majority of the time youre gonna get some rubbing.... anything above that you will have to roll the fenders....

Thatsactually the exact setup I bought the car withbefore I sold my HRE's. 235-35-19's. So same rim width all around too?Should I nothave it staggered due to the AWD? How does a the car react to a staggered setup? Thanks.

Yeah. I didn't like them. Theyre heavy as hell too.

Right..should be the same size all around... its important to have the same rolling diameter due to teh awd, effs with the drivetrain..
