Quick Question....255/40 Tires Fitment

[NYSpeedRacer]

I have a B7 A4, w/ Bilstein PSS9 Coilovers..will I be able to fit a 255/40/19 tires without having it rub, when I turn lock to lock? or is that too wide?

My buddy runs 245/35-19 and has is car lowered 1.7" with the H&R Sport springs. Tire is right at the fender lip. I'd imagine you may rub with the 255 over bumps................

The largest width we would recommend on your car without extensive modifications is a 245.
