Default help with wheels please-A friend of my daughter who is building a drift car has offered a swap deal

for some wheels that look good-Black/chrome
What offset can the A8 stand and please confirm that there is no reason not to have 255's on the front and 265's on the rear as long as the height is the same.
I run 225's now on 17" rims and the new ones are 18"s

Default 255/18 should fit down to an ET32 or 30 even. Staggered F/R with R wider is fine but will lead to..

...slight increase in tendancy to understeer, no experience but would make sense.

Good luck, share pics should you swap. Anything else she wants to swap? 8-)

Default On my S8, I used 255/35 tires, 20x9 rims with a 40ET and 15mm spacers

Net ET25. No nubbing ever (even with 4 adults in the car + cooler of sodas).

Shipping to NZ could be a stretch.
