Default Staggered wheels on B7 A4 2006 S-Line

Hi,
Need some advice from you folks out there.
I'm debating on running a staggered wheel set up

F 19x8.5 with 245/30/19 et 35
R 19.9.5 with 275/30/19 et 35

2006 S-Line quattro with sport suspension, not lowered.
Will this work?

Cheers!

4 wheel drives don't do well with staggered wheel sizes. Only rear wheel drives take advantage of larger rear tires.

I agree with Red G8R. Also, your staggered setup is going to result in a larger overall wheel diameter for the rear tires. You're planning to run a 30 profile on the front and back but your rear wheels are wider than the front therefore you're going to have a slightly taller tires in the back. I've heard that this can screw up your AWD system.

I have a 2004 Audi A4 3.0 with the ultrasport package. I'm running 235-40-18 at all corners. I have OEM Audi 18" rims, I believe the offset is 35. I have Dunlop Sport Maxx tires, and honestly I'm an aggressive driver and this setup gives me outstanding grip.

PwrDriftr- I had the Dunlop Sport Maxx on my last vehicle and they were awesome. I opted to go for RE050 this time.

I've got new shoes on the way.

Will post pics once installed

Do you all have TPMS on both wheels summer & winter?
Just curious any best place to order them?
