Default '97 A4 Question: Can I run 235/35R19 (f) and 245/35R19 (r) on a 19x8.5 ET35 wheel?

Or will I rub with the 245/35's?

If anyone can help, please let me know.

Thanks!!

Default You might eff up your Quattro with different size fronts vs. rears . . .

I don't know about the rubbing but your front tire OD is 25.5" while the rear is 25.8". The 1.1% increase in OD from front to rear may affect your quattro system. Audi strongly advises running the same size at all four corners.

Take care.

Default Yeah... I was worried about that too

I posted a question on this in the A4 and S4 Forums... There's been some individuals who have said that the slight variance in O.D. shouldn't matter, but then there are others who are very admant about it being a problem. I'm hoping to hear from individuals who have run a staggered set up...



Thanks,

Randy
