Default 22" Staggered Wheels for S7

Has anyone found anybody that makes 22" Staggered wheels for a S7? Probably looking for 22x9 1/2 front
and 22x 10 1/2 rear.
I have tried Vossen, Forgiato, CES, and a couple others.
The problem is caliper clearance on the front.

Thanks,
Don

Im curious about staggered wheels. Always assumed that wider back wheels for traction made sense in rear wheel drive cars. But Is there a practical tationale for staggering in quattro? Or is it just aesthetics? I do like the fatter look. Any downside to staggering in quattro?

There was some discussion on the A5/S5 OC forums about staggering affects quattro. I am not sure, but I like the look as well. It would be purely cosmetic for me.

staggered with wider wheels in the back is going to increase understeer, the last thing you want in an Audi.

I concur, cars that are rear biased will have wider rears but the S6/S7 don't fall in that category. I opted for 21s in a square setup for this reason. If you are looking to get a more aggressive look in the rear, you can either get a different offset for rears or run a spacer to push it out closer to the fender.

You can actually order a bigger offset on the back and have the same staggered look but still be squared all around. I had ordered 3 piece custom made just like that on my A7. 20x10 all around with stock p zero.
