Default 19x8.5 225-35-19/19x9.5 235-35-19...what do u guys think about the tire size?

I know I'm going to eventually replace the tires to 245-35-19 f/r, but what do you guys think about 225-35-19 and 235-35-19 for now? Also, will staggered setup affect the car...I have quattro? Thanks.

Default I wouldn't put a staggered setup on a quattro.

I'd stick with 235/35/19 all around.

Default Re: I wouldn't put a staggered setup on a quattro.

I have heard that it has adverse affects on the All-wheel drive system because the front and rear are spinning at different revolutions. I would not suggest it.

Naw, the rears you'll want to rock 275-30-19 if you have Quattro. That was my staggered set-up.

Don't do staggered setup! 19x8.5 would require about a 235/35/19 tire and a 19x9.5 would require wider.

Default staggered is fine, but you should make sure that you have the same diameter (not width) F + R

I've had staggered setups on my past 4 Audi Quattros and as long as you do that you will be fine. I used 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 with identical diameters.

I run a staggered setup and use 235/35/19 on a 19x8.5 and 265/30/19 on 19x9.5

Default

the difference is less than 0.8% therefore well within the 3% difference quattro allows for
