hello guys,
i have a question and wanted to see if anyone could lend some insight into a wheel fitment question i have. I will post a link to my original thread, if anyone can help with anything I would appreciate it.

i was told to visit the b6 forum because a lot of guys run the staggered set ups and have expirence with this type of set up.
any help would be great, even thoughts and comments....
it's pretty funny the guys in the b7 forum hate these wheels.... oh well, i love them and hopefully will be muuunnneeeeyyyy!!

You still never answered the all important question of what the offsets were for your staggered set-up.. I also think they will look pretty good. Dubenvy posted the info you need in your original post. He knows whats up, listen to his advice.

What offsets are these wheels available in? That will play a big part in what size tires to get so that you can avoid rubbing.

My bad it was Tivs31, he has the same avitar as Dubenvy.. oops. Tivs31 still had good info to consider also John1552. Capt. Obvious, who posted above is also bagged and has run more wheels than we could ever imagine on our cars. So post up the offsets you can get and you'll get a more positive answer on tire size and fitment issues.. Good luck and sorry for the confusion.

The front wheels are a pretty aggressive offset, but they will fit just fine (I run 8.5's in the front with a +25 offset). I would recommend you run a 225/35 in the front and a 235/35 in the rear to minimize any rubbing.

If you like wider tires, you could also go with a 235/35 in the front and 245/35 in the rear, but in my opinion I think 245/35's look too big on our cars. Another option if you're apprehensive about the whole staggered tire size thing is to run a 235/35 all around.

These are my old wheels which were 19x8.5 et37 and 19x9.5 et32 with 235/35's all around:

Long story short, with the offsets of the wheels you want to run, I think you would be best suited running 225/35's in the front and 235/35's in the rear.
