coz I don't really understand about that...is it goin to break the quattro system or what? thanks

it supposedly bad for the drivetrain system

**SilverBullet** · 10-07-2005 04:41 AM

it is perfectly fine, my friend has had staggered rims on his car, infact the same measurments that you do. he has had them on his car for about 2 years, and there is nothing wrong with them

Half people will say it's bad for your quattro, drivetrain......half people will say that you won't see any differences. I personnaly run stagered wheels since 2 years without any problem.

i dont think its ever been proven that it'll break anything, but i guess time will tell.

nope i'm running 19x8 all around, with a lower offest in the rear(3in lip)

**OverSpun** · 10-07-2005 11:19 AM

as long as you have the same rolling diameter in the front and back you are ok. 19x8.5 in the front with 235/35/19 and 19x9.5 in the rear with 245/35/19 will be roughly the same to a certain degree. many people run that combo without a problem, however i'd never do it, mostly because i like to be able to rotate. :)

I mean seriously. Its not like you are going to use quattro for its sole purpose anyway. Are you going to drive this car in the snow? Rain is a different story, but hell you live in Cali.

Do it cause you want to dont listen to anyone. Others have done it no problems

is the tires size gonna make a lot different?

**OverSpun** · 10-07-2005 01:22 PM

well both, the size is important, a 25 series tire will ride rougher thana 45 series tire, theres a lot that goes into it. basically, get the right tire sizes for your car, and you wont have a problem. running staggered 19x8.5 and 9.5 would need 235/35/19 and 245/35/19.
