with putting wider rim in rear on quattro? Will it negatively affect the drivetrain in any way? Thanks for any input?

Default lots of people have, no problem, just make sure all tire circumferences are the same

Default when you lower, be sure your front rims have enough clearance for the spring perches

Marcus (and myself) had to use spacers. I've got 19x8.5 rims ET 35.

Default Re: check out my car

Hey Technik, can you tell me if you have any experience with 19's? I want to put on 245-35-19 (on 8.5" rims) at all four corners. Do you know if I will have any problems?
