    Wheels help

    I was jus wondering if this set up will be ok with my Audi S4 B8.5?

    Staggered set of 20x8.5 & 20x10.5 Vertini Magic wheels off my Mercedes E55.
    5x112 lug pattern. Offset is 35mm front and 38mm rear IIRC.

    Even if they fit, your car will understeer like a b#tch.

    The front would work, but the rear is pretty aggressive. A lot would depend on the tires you use (both size and brand) in terms of keeping the F/R rolling diameter close, and getting the rear to fit. I wouldn't recommend a staggered setup like this unless you really know what you're doing, and in this case are prepared to do some work on the rear fender.

    Any significant difference in rolling diameter is an issue, and the staggered setup obviously adds understeer and you lose the ability to rotate the tires. Add in the fender work, non-aggressive front/aggressive rear, and it's probably not worth it unless you are dead set on those wheels.
