Default wheel advise

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/120159/gt1b_l.1.jpg"></center><p>I have few question about wheels! Anyone ever heard about MRR GT1 ? Can I use 19"x8.5 in the front and 19"x9.5 in the rear ? Tire size 235/35/19 in the front and 245/35/19 in the rear? That will be fine with OEM suspension or prefer to chage it ?
(2005.5 S4)
Thanks !

why wouldn't you just go 19"x9.5" all around? The car is AWD, so offsetting shouldn't matter!

2nd -- i think you mean "staggering" not offsetting, but I agree.

Default You really dont want to go with differeing tire sizes on quattro cars. We can get these

and it looks like the 8.5 and 9.5 have the same offset so you would probably have to go with different tires. If it were possible to get them in the same width with different offsets you could theoretically get a staggered look and still use the same size tires. I also think you may have problems with 9.5's in the front, its pushing it.

Default Not saying there are any related problems to it

but why would'nt you just go 9.5" all around? Staggering is not necessary in an AWD car, unless you cannot fit the same width tire in the front as you can the back.
