Default New wheels on the Wifey's TT:
I picked these up last week from a local AW'er who had sold his TT. They are not my favorite, but the wife likes them & I got a good deal.

Fronts are 18" X 8" with 235/40's & the rears are 18" X 9" with 255/35's. The wheels are in perfect condition & the tires hae about 70% tread.

The stock Fat Fives will now be used for winter & I have 17" Blizzaks for on them. The 16" wheels & winter tires she used last year will be sold.

Default Um, yeah. I guess if she likes them, that's cool.. Though I'm sure it looks better in person...
And thanks for reminding me that I want a 225 coupe. =P

I thought even viscous AWD could get away with staggered wheels

That's true. I forgot the TT uses Haldex , not Torsen.
