I think you rears have too aggresive of an offset...looks like they stick out too far?

Also does the stagger effect the ESP or the Quattro system at all?

I didn't know you could stagger the wheels.

how do you like the autoarts im looking at vyc's and ive only seen one other guy on here with them on his vw

[PenguiN]

very nice, the back needs to be a bit lower.

[SLYCAT]

^^^^^ Any lower and the rear will rub for sure.

[SGVA4]

I would like to know the offset as well..it looks mad aggressive!!

[4RingRook]

AutoArt's are sick wheels! nice choice! Car looks good.

the width of the tire doesn't matter.
its the circumference of the wheels that matter. i.e. 19s up front and 20s in back. thats the stagger that you can't do. if you can stuff 275s out back and 235s in front....its fine. as long as you keep 18s all the way around or 19s etc....your fine.

Are you telling me that if the fronts were wider then the backs that wouldn't make a difference? It might not trip the ESP or break the AWD but it would effect how the car drives.

In a staight line it probably does not matter but in the turn the change in width does matter and the turning radius does chance with different tire widths. Also with the staggered setup you can't put the same sized tires on both the front and the rear since the rim widths are different so you are limited in tire sizes if you want to keep the outside diameters the same for both the fronts and backs.

The suspension is setup to have a certain amount of turn-in and drive out of the corners. You just might get too much oversteer with a staggered setup - might even trip the ESP if it's bad enough.

the reason it is soo high in the back is because it isnt lowered at all... still stock... im running a 17mm spacer in the back bc the spokes were hitting the calipers in the rear. im in a slow process of putting the 10mm spacers on n then lowering it back down

nice S. like the wheels.

be sure to check out the Pittsburgh People thread in the NE forum. We usually have g2gs around the city usually for a drink or two.

where are you at in the area?

[PenguiN]

wheels look really nice but I dont like the Raked look

this runs contrary to everything i've ever read on these boards
