Default Stagger rear tires on A5 S-line?

Posted this question in the A5 forum... this may be a more suitable location.
I have a 2015 A5 S-Line with the 19x9 rotor style wheels (255/35/19, 26"dia) I would like to put a set of 285/35/19 (26.9" dia) on the rear, keeping the fronts stock.

Will this cause any issues with the quattro system?

Coming from the Mustang world... Audi is all new to me

There will not be problem with the quattro system itself but almost 1" difference in diameter is too much, you will have too big of a difference in rotational speed which will mess with the ABS and ESP systems. You ?may? get away with 295/30/19 = 25.969" diameter.

Thanks halo... it seems I do have to keep the overall diameter with 1/10th or 2/10ths of an inch...
