Whats up guys, I am thinking about running staggered wheels and tires on my s4 and was wondering if anyone has tried it and if you ran into problems. My 01 s4 is widebody and the rear tires sit so far in I hate it! So any way I have 235/35r19 on 19x8.5 right now and was thinking of getting 265/35r19 on 19x9.5 for the rear which if you sit them side by side they are the exact same height. Thanks for your help guys!!!

It should work, but you might have more understeer in hard cornering. I have a friend with a Evo and he has 9.5 inch rims in the front and 8.5 in the rear. He tracks his car on the weekends and doing this made it handle alot better. Almost no understeer.
