Can you run for example a 19x8.5 in the front with a 19x9.5 in the rear with 235/35 front and 265/30 rear on a Quattro

Default Different size OK, but definitely NOT different diameter ...

... the diameter's of the tires you picked are with 1/4" of each other, so you wouldn't tear anything up, but it's still probably a bad idea.

Our nose-heavy cars already suffer from enough understeer, and adding more rubber on the rear makes a marginal situation much worse.
