How are you going to fit 275s (or more) in back? RS4 fenders?

Default i have a similar set up....

i am running 245/35 in the rear and 235/35 in the front.....the 245s barely fit in the back....i am on 19 x 8.5 up front and 19 x 9.5 in back..the width difference is no biggie, as long as the diameter of the wheel and tires are the same.... ie: porsche...they run staggered also on thier AWD cars as well.....

good luck

Default 18x9 and 18x10 !!!

Jeeze, and my 18x8.5's with 245/40's don't fit (see link below). Can't imagine you'd get rims that big under a stock body.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/391278.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/391278.phtml</a</li></ul>
