    I am debating on purchasing a rim and tire set but want to know if i will have any issues with rubbing or if i will have to roll the fenders. I am currently on a oem sport suspension. Tires are 225/35ZR/20 90W.

    No way anyone can pull off 20" rims on OEM sport suspension... just saying...

    Rubbing will also be depend on the specs of the rims.

    Ehhhh..... 20's? That's hard to pull off. I'm thinking it'll end up looking like a donk. What's a Donk you may ask? I don't know. Probably an A4 on stock suspension rolling 20's a'la blacked-out Chrysler 300.
    Probably rub, depending on the offset of the wheels.
    My sunday night Vodka is telling me donk though.

    imho i regret 19''s wish i went with OEM 18''

    20'' you will not like in the long run, especially DD

    but as to your question, im running 235/35/19 on sport suspension with no rubbing even over speed bumps, if you roll/pull your fenders you may be able to get away with it. dont quote me on it..

    There is nothing wrong with 20s as long as you can lower the car to make it look right.

    I daily drive on 20s and it feels no different then when I had 19s on.

    Joking aside... how much were you gonna pay for the wheel and tire setup?
    That could be a decent amount towards lowering springs or coils which will look 100X better with the 18's you have
    Put the money to something more useful

    IMO 20's is too big.....there was a thread a while ago about b6'ers running 20's. Try searching for it.
