Default This is a very bad idea on a quattro car, and will lead to premature wear of the drivetrain

Change to the same size wheels/tires all the way around ASAP.

Default Re: wheels

I am not completely sure about the altered wheel size, but I have read on here some people recomending that all 4 wheels be the same size. This having something to do with the Quatrro system. I do not know for sure, I am just repeating what I remember reading. If it was me, I would make them all the same size, just so that you can rotate your tires alot easier.

You can put 19's all the way around, but depending on the width and offset of the wheel you may have to roll your fenders. I am sure someone else will elaborate more on what I have said...

not to be a a$$ but when i was looking up information about wheel and tire sizes, the SEARCH function helped grealty. You can find tons of pictures and explanation about diiferent wheels and tire combos. More likely then not, someone on here has the same wheels as you and probably the same suspension set up.

Default Good luck getting the same exact diameter with different size/series tires

Best you can hope for is to be within 1% of the rolling length, with is just not good enough.
