Rears:- 21" x 10J with 295/30/21
My Audi's an A8 D3 Quattro Sport and would love to have these on my car as thing it would just make it awesome so first of will they fit, and secondly will it full lock and then finally can I move it without upsetting the Quattro system?
I assume that the tyre rolling circumferences on the fronts and the rears must be somewhere close, but does anyone have a means of finding out whether they are matching each other and also how close these are to my current 18's that I have fitted on my A8 at the moment (factory wheels)

Hi Mark
As you have suggested you will need to ensure that the front and rear rolling radius's are as close as possible. I run 21" staggered wheels on my D2 and the fronts are 255 30 21 on 9" wheels but the rears are 295 25 21 on 10.5 wheels and I think your rears will need to be 25 profile rather than 30 to give the same close rolling circumference. Size wise the 21's will fit ok under D3 arches but you need to check the offset to see how the wheels sit in the arches and how far they come out towards the arch
