Running 225's front and rear on staggered wheels is gonna give you a really odd effect. You're gonna have a lot more stretch in back than you will in the front. Plus you won't be able to rotate them and from my experience (yours may vary), you really need to rotate your tires on these cars to keep the wear balanced. K04 (fellow member) may chime in on that.

My advice...skip the staggered setup for an AWD car. This one anyway. Find something 18x8.5 or 19x8.5 and squeeze in some 235's.

Eurotuner magazine had a cool little writeup on the s4. Look up "power to the people" and "supply and demand".

I'll try to get some pics and specs for my wheels tomorrow...they're BBS RX's on 225-45-18. They fit really nicely. No issues with rubbing when lowered.

Spacers on the back, not wider rims would be my guess.
