245/40R 18

[SEXICÄN]

Will these fit with no issues with rolled fenders on 18x8 Avus wheels? will i need to modify my suspension at all?

[Chandlerdoom]

you should be fine, thats what I had

[jsantiago17]

I'm on these (245/40/18 on 18x8) now...what's your offset? OE et is 43 and I went to et35 and had rubbing up front, so I had to do a fendor roll.....

[Vinchenzo51]

if your fenders are rolled you'll be OK. my buddy is running 245/35/18's and has a good amount of clearance, the little difference in sidewall wont be that huge of a deal with rolled fenders

[onemoremile]

Go with 245/35-18. The 40 profile is nearly an inch taller than stock which really limits control arm clearance. I ran 245/40-17 and had no clearance problems. That was with Shine Racing suspension which is sport height.

[BlkdoutS4]

is this on stock suspension? I rubbed with 235/40/18s until i rolled my fenders, and im lowered on Vogtland GTs.

[Short4Law]

Im gonna try 255/35 all around myself, its the perfect height. I think I can make it work.

[SEXICÄN]

I am getting the tires for $120 for 4 with only 3K on them! I can't be picky for a deal like that! These are the stock wheels off a B8 S4...

I am lowered on ST coilovers and i'm 25" GTF

[SEXICÄN]

I have 15mm spacers too is that too large? I also have 8mm spacers too...

[BlkdoutS4]

you will rub if you are lowered and you dont have your fenders rolled.

Depends on the offset of the wheel in question. On that point, you will need hubrings as the newer model Audi's have a bigger center bore (66 something compared to 57.1 for us).

[SEXICÄN]

I will have the fenders rolled in the next week, but what about spacers? I have bth 15 and 8mm spacers...?

You said a B8 S4 in an earlier post...guess you meant a B6 S4 if it is off a 2004 (or I guess you could have meant a "V8" S4 (B6/B7)).

[SEXICÄN]

The tires are from a B8 S4 the wheels i have are 18" stock Avus wheels from a 04 S4....

[Tarmac]

I have the KW variant 3, the new Dunlop Direzza 23540R18 and they rub!!

are your fenders roled? what ET are your wheels? u running spacers?

[Tarmac]

No rolled fenders & not running spacers. I don't know why they rub. I had the Dunlop 23540R18 SP9000 & they didn’t rub.
Must be the Dunlop Direzza have a slight wider track.

[<CHILIBISKITS4>]

thats a helluva price on wheels nico.

a little tall, but it should still work with a little bit of fender rolling...i have 235/35/19 and they rub up front like a mofo with 8 mm spacers....so, me gets me fender rolled. i stll need some 12mm spacers in the back... HELP ME OUT NICO!

[michael66899]

Should be alright once you get your fenders rolled, who's rolling them for you anyways?

Either BAR or my dealership...

a heat gun, a wood bat, and a gang of patience is rolling mine.

255/35/18 - 18x8.5 ET+32 - rolled front fenders

Stasis Ohlins with a finger gap all around

245/40/18 are significantly taller

If I wanted to run 255/35/18 on 18x8.5 wheels, would I want a +25 or +38 offset? (I'm looking at the Hartmann HRS4 wheels and they are only offered in those offsets)

I'll be running this setup for a while on the stock suspension until I can go Ohlins.

[belinko]

^^^^ You'll need the +38 ET with 5mm spacers, which will bring you back to +33 ET, which should be good.

The main clearance problem is with the rear upper control arms, that's were the spacers will help you.

Just think that the OEM b5 rs4 runs 255's all around with a widebody.

That's why I'm thinking 255s.

[SRSslpr]

I'm running 235/40/18's with i think 5mm spacers up front and I only have rubbing when I turn right. And by rubbing i mean a very small amount , but it's nothing that i can't fix with a few zip ties holding the fender liner back.

[SEXICÄN]

so sounds like i will be just fine, i just need to find the right spacer....

I have 8mm and 15mm spacers ready to go when i get the tires....

Thanks everyone!!

[gnx7]

Very stoked to see that 255's fit with rolled fenders....

I know of a local RS4 body conversion that was in excess of $10K and he only runs 275/18's.
