Hi, can I run 18x9.5 et35 offset on all 4 corners on my B7 A4, I am running sport suspension with B5 caps on the front
Oh hai!
Sure! but it will probably rub.

That's what I was afraid of, I guess it's 18x8 in the front ant 18x9.5 in the rear

I've read on here before that running a staggered setup like that is basically is not ideal when it comes to the quattro system.

As far as I know as long as the tires are not staggered it will not effect anything

I've got 19x8.5 et35 and I occasionally rub in the front.

I'm running the same setup but I've got 235/35 tyres and i'm not as low as most people go so no rub for me.

Im on 18x9.5 et35 with 225/35/18 iirc, with 5mm spacer up front and a 8mm out back. And no rub at full lock, only rubs when on bumps at speed

I'm running 18x8.5 ET 34 and don't rub in front. I occasionally brush the rear fender liner with the tire, but not the fender itself. I'm running 225/40/18 tires.

Thank you for all the info guys, I really want to get 18x9.5 all the way around for a nice aggressive stance

What about 18x9 with +35 offset all the way around?

Im running a 18x9.5 with +40 all around. 20mm spacers all around. Be careful about the front caliper hangers as they poke out a LOT compared to the rears. I had to shave mine down about 2mm.

Ha ha. This thread. Looooooooots of people run 18x9.5 or 19x9.5 up front. It's all in the tires and ride height. Since your ride height is basically stock, you won't rub with any reasonable tire setup. Don't try and cram 265's up front and you'll be fine.

they'll fit fine trust me.
18x9.5 et 35 is basically the equivalent to an 18x9 et 26 wheel, which is what i run at 22.5" FTG
