For a more aggressive look wheel wise. B8 A4

Would I use 19 X 8.5 for front and 19 X 10 for the rear with using Rotiform SPF cast wheels. B8 A4

First of all check the B8 wheel gallery thread or the zillion other threads about wheels.

But also, don't run wider ones in the rear....imo it looks stupid on an A4. It's not an M3 or a drag car. I would stick with 19x8.5 all around on 235 or 245 series tires at most. The B8 A4 can not really swallow a wide wheel very well....especially if the car is lowered. I'm going to be running a 20x10 on my Allroad but that's because Allroads have much wider fenders than the A4. I say that just in case because I've seen some folks think their A4 can run the same width and offset as an Allroad because the AR is basically an A4.

Find yourself some 19x8.5 rotor wheels. OEM or Hartman (if you want a cheaper option)

If you want rotiforms then get them. You don't need rotors to have proper wheel fitment on the car. They make them in 19X8.5

But Corbin's right, you're better off sticking to the same width wheel all around because you'll get the best handling out of the quattro with equal contact all around. Running slimmer tires upfront compared to the rear (regardless of rear width) will tend to understeer even more than expected with the 60:40 bias

Yea agreed wasnt saying dont get rotiform. I'm just saying personally I wouldnt stagger

You also cant rotate them properly if they're staggered and you'll find yourself buying new rubber pretty often

Also if you want directional tires in the back, which you'd probably want with a huge rear end, that makes rotating even more of a PITA

I should of said I'm FWD. for concave and a deeper rear rim what would I do?

Gonna be hard to get very concave with the offsets that fit your car. And FWD is even more of a reason to NOT do a staggered set with a fat rear. Your car will handle like total shit

Find an ET35 (probs max you can run) 19x8 or 19x8.5. The reason I mentioned rotors in my first post is because OEM rotors actually have a decent concave. But check all brands to find what you love...just keep it square. Don't stagger it

[19birel]

If I were you I wouldn't do any more than stagger the offsets. Wider rear tyres will only exaggerate your car's inherent understeering characteristic because of the greatly increased rear grip. Not only will your car handle poorly in the dry, but in slick wet conditions it could be potentially dangerous. I would speak directly with Rotiform (that's who's wheels you're getting right?) and see if they can achieve the look your after with square tyre sizes and staggered offsets. That said, the extra offset will have a very similar effect to the wider tyre in terms of performance, but it will be less exaggerated, to what extent however, I don't know for sure.

Hope that helps.

Offset is what you should be looking at in order to get the aggressive/flush look you're after. You can run a 19x9 ET33 square set to get a nice concavity and fat-tired look. @goreckless has OE S5 peelers in this fitment and they suit the B8 perfectly. Another member just posted a thread with a set of S5 rotors with similarly excellent results.
