Default 2006 S4 Avant and BBS LM's staggered fitment?

I have 19' BBS LM's that were on my BMW. I just order a 2006 S4 Avant, will the staggerd size cause me problems?
My specs are:
bbs lm 19x8.5
19x10
245/35
275/30
Michellin pilot sport AS.
Thanks for any help.

Don't do staggered. It WILL mess up the handling of the car.

Thought it might be possible to have a decent handling car with the staggered setup since the 911 4s and turbo have it that way. Also thought that the new 40/60 bias would be more favorable to a staggered fitment. Anyway I might give it a try just to see what it looks and handles like. I already own them. If it sucks then I will surely find them a new home. Thank you for your thoughts.

The Porsche has 60% of its weight in the rear. It's staggered to reduce oversteer. Audi is almost 60% front. The last thing you want to do is decrease oversteer ( i.e. increase understeer)

And that 19X10 is going to be a tight fit regardless of offset
