Staggered 19x8.5/19x9.5 on b5 s4 avant

[nordmoe81]

Okay, found a set of 19x8.5/19x9.5. Offset for front is 35 and rear is 40. The wheel place says they will fit with 5-8mm spacers. Was thinking 235/35/19 dunlops for the front, how wide can I go with the rear?? Also have neuspeed sport springs that are 1.5f/1.5r. Please help!!

I am running 19x8.5 ET32 front and 19x9.5 ET35 rear. I tried Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season 235/35/19 in front and 245/35/19 in back, but the rears hit the upper control arm. Ended up going 235/35/19 all around. Fits well.

I have seen a few B5 S4's on this board running 19x9.5 ET32 with 245/35/19 tires in the rear that fit. The 3mm difference in offset is not much. Some tires just run wider than others even if they are the same size.
