The staggered wheel size is not about Quattro ~

By using fatties out back, you amplify the understeer in a car that already has a LOT of understeer.

Re: The staggered wheel size is not about Quattro ~

I understand, but I don't think this car was meant to be driven that hard anyway, remember is an A8, not S8. This is my daily driver and I think this car does need a wider wheel in the back instead of huge wheel spacer to fix the ugly offset problem with factory wheels.

Hee hee ... you'll learn differently!

Paul let Randy Pobst (Audi Racing Team driver) use his A8 at Mid Ohio roadcourse. The video from the cockpit camera is awesome, and I believe the comment from Randy was "I have GOT to get me one of THESE!" (see Independance Day)

So think again.
