Hello all,

I am after advice in terms of running staggered wheels on my 2014 GTS. Car is currently on 295/35/21 10J wheels on all corners. I am interested in buying a set of wheels with wider rears 11J. I know the wheels will fit inside the arches but slightly worried about the overall diameters of the staggered tyres with difference in height of roughly 1cm between front and back.

I did some research and it seems like 2011-2014 suffers with very sensitive transfer boxes with people being worried about 2-3mm difference in tread depths.

Spec of new wheels-
Front: 21x10J
Rear: 21x11J

295/35/21 (Diameter 73.914mm)

325/30/21 (Diameter 72.898mm)

I believe you are not supposed to run different OD wheels on AWD cars. It will damage the drivetrain.

Most BMW/Mercedes and all newer Porsche's run staggered setups with OD difference of roughly 5-10mm so just checking if there is some threshold
