Hi all taking delivery. Of new wheels in 2 weeks 19" staggered what would be the best option. For tyres in regards if size 235/35/19 all round or would I be better suited with different. Tyres front and back
Just going back to the first question, staggered wheels for your vehicle don't seem like a good choice. However its completely up to you and yes you would need different sized tyres
I have staggered wheels on mine, but as it's a Quattro I had to be careful that I kept the rolling radius the same front and back to look after the diff so have the same size tyres all round:
Front
19x8.5 ET48 with a 5mm spacer
Rear
19x9 ET52 with a 10mm spacer
245/35/19 all round
I'm hoping to swap the front rims for the same size as the rear, just need to try them out.
yeah there gonna be staggered 8.5 f & 9.5 r tyre options are
front 235/35/19
rear 265/30/19
or
front 245/35/19
rear 275/30/19
obviously I don't want any rubbing etc what is going to be my better option as in the near future I wish to add a set of coilovers I don't want the car slammed but just want the stance to be good
answers on a postcard please guys your help and comments are as ever much appreciated
Why is it not a good choice?? :-s
Running the same size tyre on both an 8.5' rim and a 9' rim won't result in the same rolling radius mate....? Granted we are gonna be talking amounts probably too small to make a difference when it's just a half inch...

Hi gents, while we're on the topic..
would a staggered set of alloys cause trouble to quattro system/diff or can it cope fine with the extra one inch in width?
some say (and it makes sense) since my car is a quattro I'd want the keep the wheels same size/width all around to keep the quattro system happy, but then on the other hand I'm seeing so many folks putting on wider rears....
I will be putting my new wheels on at the end of the week (8.5 front and 9.5 rear same as you) I'm going for 255 35 19 all round but I have a few 235 35 in my shed that I may put on the front. I'll let you know how I get on with the 255'sas i have no clue over the rolling radius thing despite reading through this thread can I ask for a recommendation on tyre sizes for 19'' 8.5 front, 9.5 rear.
for the front 235/35/19 seems to be a sort of normal size but then what for the rears?
Believe it or not, I've got 255 all round on 8 inch rims!!!! I'm just not a fan of the stretched look. I like some rubber to protect the rim too. Mega potholes where I live.255 is too wide i thing,but yeah let me/us know how you get on with it. I'll go for 235,35 all around just to see how will the car cope with it,and then might go down to 225/35 on front or 245/35 on rear.
I know what you mean noz, I'm very happy with the fitment of my 255's on the rear. Any photos?Mine are on now 3sdm 0.01 staggered
Got 245/35/19 rear and 235/35/19 front although. Now I think a wider tyre. On the rear would offer more protection perhaps a 255
Yup I went for 245 on the rear but could of gone bigger for a little more protectionSorry to bring up a old thread but I'm getting some staggered wheels for my Quattro and looking at 235/35 front but stuck on the rears is 255/35 ok ? Cheers for any help
