A little Wheel help Please.

[Derek Gannon]

Hi all,
Hoping some of ye might be able to help me out with your knowledge and or experience,

I have a 2016 A6 Avant Quattro Black Edition and am looking at either one of two options . . . Spacers or New Set of Wheels
I have read on line on other sites that say staggering the back two will throw off the Quattro system can anyone confirm this to be true or not?
And if I go with spacers 5 at front and 12 at back would this also cause issues.

Any help or advice be much apricated.

Can anyone confirm ?

plenty of people run spacers of different widths with no issue on quattro vehicles, quite a common thing on the forums.

I believe (with staggered fitments) if the difference in rolling circumference between front and rear exceeds 3% it can mess with the quattro system.. Personally i prefer the "square" set up.. (same width rims front and back).. As for spacers, they do absolutely no damage to the 4x4 system.
