Staggered Wheels
I've never been a huge fan of staggered wheels. Could we get away with getting a second set of rear wheels and tires and mounting them on the front?

The stock rear rims will not fit the front. I don't have data to proove this, but I'm sure they would rub the brake calipers ("rub" is a kind word). If you put enough spacers on them, they'd clear the brakes, but would rub the fenders (they'd probably rub without spacers as well on either the fender or the perch). As well, your car would look a little ridiculous.
I have never heard anyone say they don't like staggered wheels. They're generally considered better looking (fill the fenders), and more performance based (rubber where you need it) than the alternative.
I am intrigued to know why you don't like staggered...

Just looking for a way to get more rubber on the road , and maybe get a little more life out of the tires by being able to rotate front to back. My RS4 has this setup and it works great. Just looking at options.Thank you
