    b7 BBS CH on B5 issue

    I ran into a problem with rubbing the back control arm with the stock CO/CH wheels. I believe the dimensions are 18 x 8 with 235/40/18 ET 43. What size spacer will work 3mm? 5mm? and do I need longer bolts?

    it appears some individuals are running the same size combo on rs6 or usp wheels and don't have a problem with rubbing the arms for some reason...

    235/35-18 or 225/40-18 are the only sizes we guarantee. 18x8 should be ET 32, 18x8.5 are ET35

    You could throw on a 10mm spacer and get longer lug bolts and you should be nice and flush with that aggressive stance.

    Thanks for the help. I'll try some 10mm to get ET33

    Nice choice! Remember longer wheel bolts and at least 6-8 complete turns to be safe.
