Default 21" Alloys on Staggerd Fitment. Will they work?

Hi Guys,

Well the old girl is going in for a new coat at the beginning of the week after next and thought she would like some new shoes to go with her new look to make her look fantastic.

What I have found are:-
Fronts:- 21" x 8.5J with 255/30/21
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)

Regards,

Mark.

Model: MY 2008 08 3.0TDI Quattro Sport, Black on Black (Transporter Edition) Lowered 60mm on drop link bars. Alloys swapped out to RS6 style 20" x 9.5". It's got full tints on all windows, and has the black leather interior. Remapped by Elite Automotive in Cornwall, giving an increase output to 290bhp/450lbs.

Options: Keyless Entry & Start, Bluetooth Hands Free, Quad Zone Climate, 3 Spoke Sports Tiptronic Multi Function Steering Wheel, Black Leather Comfort Seats, AMI, Drivers & Passenger Electric Memory Seats, Auto Dimming Mirrors, Bi-Xenons.

Future Plans:
Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered.

Planned Mods:
Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.
