If there's 1 man to listen to ref wheels on rs246, this is him. ^^^^^Jules wrote:Like mentioned no way I would run that sort of size tyre on 2 ton rs6
I think the only reasonable sort of option you have is to run the front tyre pretty straight with a 235/35
and a 265/30 on the rear. This will keel the same rolling radius but tbh maybe even go with a 275/30
on the rear as with the stretch will still keep it very close.
I have 265/30 on my 10.5s so think a 275/30 would prob work better and be more safe.

Agreed. Even so, he's still talking from a point of show, not go.
I like staggered wheels on RWD cars, on AWD cars it looks wrong.

Re: Staggered wheels!
wider rears looks/works right on a GTR, and maybe an R8, but not a 6
Only reason to even think of narrow tyres is snow driving.

Re: Staggered wheels!
Staggered are fine as long as you stay within the 1-2% difference in rolling diameter. Between that and finding a wheel that is made to fit Audi offsets, it turns out to be a bit of work.
Here is my staggered wheel stage, circa 2008. I am no longer using staggered simply because I like to get new wheels every 4-5 years. Good luck OP.

Re: Staggered wheels!
All done wheels are one no problems! Gonna swap the front tyres to 225/35/19 just to bring the percentage down a little more but in my opinion looks great!
