Picture of Staggered fit wheels
Guys I was wondering if any one as any pictures of wheels that as a "Staggered fittment". What size are they, (tire and rim) and do they hurt the 4 wheel drive system in anyway. Thanks in advance..

Yeah, I've been meaning to put some really big ones on the front for laughs... (not)
Stagger is an all show no (negative) go on any Audi except an R8. Erase ideas of Bimmers and Mercs and substitute thoughts of front heavy pigs--because of the fundamentally FWD conceptual set up of most any Audi even today--that struggle for grip and want to push up front, not in back. So, if you want to stagger on an Audi for more performance, the wide ones go up front, not in back. And if you do it in back, it is just screwing with the handling of the car approaching any limits.
Being a little more serious, any time I (rarely) see an Audi staggered, I conclude the guy has no clue what he has actually done. If you want a beefier look, either play with tire widths + aspect ratios evenly rear and front and/or some spacers.

Nice pictures, but I would never do that to my A8. To big wheels with no sidewall rubber wrongly staggered will kill all aspects of performance.
Than, what good comes from tattoo and it is getting more and more popular.

Some pics I have found tho...
The car above is on 20x9.5 & 20x11 but the same 285 tyres all round.
I personally think the A8 is a hard car to match wheels too. There a limited designs that work well for it.

That didn't come from just wider tires. Those had less sidewall and where too wide for 9" rims. I am driving 285/40x18 on 9.5" rims and they are perfect.
