Fender rolling due to rubbing issues

[Asix]

Hey guys,

I just had my 19" RS4 replicas put on my A6. I got falken 245/35/19 and my car is also lowered on eibach pro-kits. I'm experiencing rubbing issues whenever I drive on the freeway or hit a dip in the road. Has anybody had issues with rubbing issues and if so, did you get your fenders rolled? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Your tires are bigger than the recommended size which is 235/35/19, and some tires are bigger/squarer than others within the same size. So by going to to 245, you increase your chnace to experience rubbing.
In addition, I assume from your psot and sig that you have springs on.y, which is not the best route to go. It is always betetr to do shocks too because 1- you'll wear your OEM shocks faster and end up relpacnig them, paying for labor a secnod time, and 2- lower more aggressive springs on stock shocks rsult in bouncing, which here is impactnig you by increasing rubbing as the car buonces over dips on the road.
However, a little rubbing is not necessarily super bad.. where does it rob? not the inner tire wall right? is it just the outter corner of the tire? and is it rubbing against the liner or fender edge or the little screw that holds the liner...
I had some rubbing wiht my 19s before and melted a portion of my liner, really no consequence.. except for a little extra tire wear

oh and yeah you can try rolling the fender but figure out where it rubs first to make sure it'll help

Wood baseball bat, a floor jack and patience, Your hands and arms will be sore but it works great. It is a good Saturday beer drinking project because the thought of a baseball bat near fenders and paint, just dosent sound right.

I used an aluminum bat with I rolled the fenders on my bagged truck once. Worked like a champ.

I have Eibach's and run a 245, and I only rub on the rivot on the front fenders on big dips. Other than that, I don't ever rub at all.

yeah, front needs to be rolled, with rolled front i ran 265 track tire...(it was 255 Hoosier equivalent to 265 road tire)

went back and got 235/35/19's. Got a $160 refund for getting a smaller tire and they don't rub at all!

it doesn't really look any different just that metal lip is folded up

thought so, I had the same problem with the goodyear 245's and had to get them exchanged.
