Hey guys,

Im thinking about running a staggered set of wheels on my A6 C6. The wheels im looking at are 19x8.5/19x9.5 with an ET of 43 all around.

im also lowering the car on eibachs which is a 1.2" drop.

can an A6 clear a 9.5" rear, and if so what size tire should i run?

thanks alot guys.

Front should be fine. 9.5 in the rear needs an offset of 51. Tire fitment will be 255/35 or 265/30. Thats my opinion

krustyx

255/35 with ET50-52 should be good for rear

wouldnt a 255 rub in the rear? i figured the most i can do is 245/35.

...so what size spacer do you guys recommend then?

The_Mizarc

you cant use a spacer. the wheel you want to use is already too far out for the rears. the lower and offset the further out the wheel sits. if you have spacers in mind your sest bet is to pick a set of wheels with high offsets like 50 then use a spacer that will push the wheel out as close as possible to the fenders without rubbing. Effectively decreasing the offset

krustyx

Well, S6 are running 265/35 tires on 19X9 ET52 and i guess theres no rubbing

The_Mizarc

right but I think he meant to use a spacer with the 43 offset wheels he had in mind. I believe S6 fenders are a bit wider too.

i was thinking about running the mercedes S550 wheels. if its going to be to much of a problem then fine, ill just get LM reps or something. but i figured it would be cool having S550 wheels with a custom center cap.

In that case why not look here.
