    Wheels

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Ok, I saw stoneplayter posted about his wheels rubbing, and I got nervous since I just ordered new wheels. I ordered:

    18x8
    ET35

    Running 235/40ZR18XL tires, I'm not lowered nor do I plan to. What's the consensus, will this work without rubbing?

    Thanks,
    Doug

    That shouldn't cause any rubbing. I run the same size, am lowered (slightly), and only get rubbing going over bumps with weight in the back.

    Remember, Cabrios are 30mm lower than standard A4/S4. So keep that in mind. I am on H&R Springs and have some rub going over harsh bumps at speet with 2 250lbs adults.

    JHarris your car looks aggressive and I like the color of the interior!

    Islandhydro, those must be some special wheels to get them all the way from across the pond! Can't wait to see them!
