It's a fashion statment, the M3/AMG/Mustang look.
No effect on traction, increased understeer, .8% difference in tire circumference may be adding wear to quattro system. The fronts are actually "larger" than rears. I don't know how much differance is too much. Good Luck.

oh so that staggered setup I posted actually is larger in the front?
and isnt that bad then? Im going to buy it tonight hopefully as soon as I get all my info out of the way. I read that some staggered setups are better than other meaning it wont hurt the car or at least not as much, so you're saying the one I listed isnt actually that bad and only has a .8% difference and the understeer wont be affected since I will have larger in the front?

when you say racer, meaning like track racing....etc
So the setup I posted is actually pretty good and wont really harm the car, ABS, Traction, quattro,trans??? Aside from the understeer

^^^^ VD, I think I'd ask yourself if it's work the risk. Those components you mentioned
aren't exactly cheap. The money you're saving on the wheels (w/your good deal) doesn't even come close to the cost of repairing a screwed up differential. KIWINI-RI's general endorsement (no offense KIWINI-RI) wouldn't be enough to justify going ahead with the staggered setup... Just my .02!
