Default 2001 a6 4.2 quattro need wheels advice.

looking to replace my wheels due to some cracks.
I am thinking of going with 17 inch on front and 18 inch on rear.
Car came with 17 inch from factory.What do you think of going with a bigger wheel in rear.My local wheel store andvised not to change in size.Any feed back would be great.

oh my. please tell me you are joking? you do realize these cars are AWD? so by you doing that, it is like putting the little dont go over 50 mph donut on the front of a front wheel drive car.

Default Keep them all the same size

When changing to new wheels/tires a minor change in the diameter or circumfrence isn't a problem as long as all 4 are EXACTLY the same!

What is your price range? You can find a set of used wheels for as little as 500.. a decent set of used for 7-800ish and new wheels for around the 1k mark, Depending on what you want you can find them brand new for 600 and up from wheelmax.com
