19" rims on a A4 '02
Hi guys,
Being very new to the Audi scene, and still 3 months away from taking delivery of my car, it is the perfect time to start shopping for nice wheels.....
I very much like the BBS LM's, I guess 19x8,5 all round is perfect, but is it also possible to run a wider wheel at the rear ? 19x10 ? Without fender rolling ?
Thanks for your help.

not really an answer, but curious...
why you'd want to do that.
I've seen that done on rear-wheel-drive cars, like BMW, to make the driving wheels stick better to the road, but on an Audi?
I'm assuming you're not getting quattro, but if you are, I don't think having different wheel/tire widths is a good idea.
So, on a front-wheel-drive car, what's the point of doing that? Simply for looks? I must admit, the back of the car would probably look fantastic though ;-)
Here's the best picture of '02 A4 with 19x8.5 rims I've seen so far.

I have not ordered a Quattro
I just wanted to run a staggered set-up for the looks, but if there are rubbing issues with the 8,5 then I would be crazy to go 10" in the rear !
Thanks for the advice guys !

Extreme example on an A8 ...
...
The A8 shown in the "A8000" link runs 245/35-19 on 10" wheels in the front, and an amazing 305/25-19 on 11.5" wheels in the rear.
The view from the rear looks impressive, but I would expect that this car has a rather serious problem with understeer.<ul><li><a href="http://www.vw-audi-dreams.com/">VW-Audi Dreams</a></li></ul>

Here's a new A4 with 20" wheels. Looks pretty sharp.
