    H&R Spring w/ 255/35/18 OEM wheels

    Guys,
    I have 2005.5 S4 with oem wheels but w/ 10mm spacer at the rear and 255/35/18 tire. Any idea if I install the H&R spring? Will it rub?
    I need your expert and witty 2 cents.
    Thanks

    With the spacer, you should be around a +35 offset. This rubs lightly with a 245 tire when dampning isn't stiff on a coilover. Seeing as you are running stock shocks with H&R springs and a 255 tire, I think that you're gonna rub.

    What are you doing with a 255 tires on an 8" wide wheel?

    I just wanted it wider rather than using a bigger wheels.

    Thats not a good philosophy - that might almost be too wide for the wheel...

    It is too wide for the wheel. Go back down to the correct tire size, keep the spacers on and toss on the springs. You'll be set. Your steering response will be better also.
