Anybody running 18" up front and 19" out back?
Is anybody running 18" wheels up front and 19" wheels in back? I've got nine lightly used 19" Bridgestone Potenza RE050 tires in my garage off my old RS4 and I'm wondering if I should expect any issues if I put them on pair of 19" wheels and ran them in back? If not, obviousiy the cosmetic challenge is finding a 19" wheel that matches the 18" five spoke stockers.

Haven't heard of anyone running staggered setup here. As long as you get the overall diameter right front/back, I don't see why it would be a problem (if you don't match diameters within 3% the ABS will freak out).

Ok got it. Thanks. Even though they're very low profile tires I think they would still fall outside of that 3% difference in rolling diameter. Probably a better idea to start looking at a set of 19" wheels for all four corners.
