CAN YOU FIT STAGGERED WHEELS ON YOUR CAR?
You must know that there are several cars in the world that allow you to fit different tyre sizes, and alloy wheels, between the front and rear axles. Basically, it means that the wheels on one axle can be larger than the others. Especially this is a typical feature of rear-wheel drive cars such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen and other brands.
To find out if you can fit different sizes you just have to consult the registration document of your car. In the Italian car booklet, on the third page, you will find the entry LIST OF ALLOWED TIRES which shows all the tire sizes approved for your car followed by an abbreviation on the right in brackets. Let's see an example together:
LIST OF ALLOWED TIRES
265/30 ZR20 94Y (A1)
255/35 R19 96V M+S (A2)
255/40 R18 99V M+S (A3)
285/30 ZR20 99Y (A4)
Now that you know all the tire sizes that you can fit, you need to consult the next section LIST OF ALLOWED COMPATIBILITIES which shows the accessible combinations for your car between the front and rear axles.
LIST OF ALLOWED COMPATIBILITIES
A2-A2, A3-A3, A1-A4
In this case you can fit the same wheels in the front and rear axles (A2-A2 and A3-A3 combinations) or different ones like the A1-A4 combination that allows you to fit:
Front: 265/30 ZR20 94Y
Rear: 285/30 ZR20 99Y
Obviously, differentiated tires also correspond to differentiated wheels. In fact, even if the diameter in inches does not vary, the rear channel will be wider than the front and the wheel will be more protruding towards the outside. Fitting wheels with different sizes will allow you to have greater grip in acceleration and will give your car a sportier and more personal look.
Now you just have to choose the best wheels for your car from the many proposals you can find on Tyreo, and remember a team of experts is always at your disposal should you need help!
The Type of the car is a code that the producer assigns to each vehicle in order to distinguish it from similar models.
You can find this code in the italian registration certificate in two places: At point D.2, Vehicle type, or at point E, vehicle identification number.
