Wheel specs? b7 s4 on 19's

[greyb7s4]

I am about to purchase a set of TT-S rims with specs 255/35/19 tires on them, the rim is 19-9. From what I've read theres going to be some rubbing issues, however I'm stubborn and need rims ASAP. Would wheel spacers help with the tires that are on the rims? If not would I be able to get new tires for these rims and make them work at all or no? Thanks.

What is the offset? Are you on stock suspension?

You need the ET, if they are OEM they would be 52 I believe. You would need spacers regardless to get it out around a et 35 with that tire. Depends on ride height as well. 245 or 235 tires will also work on those wheels and you can push them out to about et 29 and have a nice flush look. Search the forum and A4 section. It is discussed multiple times a week.

I'm riding on stock suspension and the et is 52.

I may be a little slow but the whole ET thing really throws me off. Are you saying with spacers the wheels would work, and with a smaller size tire it would work without spacers?

You can run those 255's but you will need spacers to bring the wheels out more because at a +52 offset, the wheels are tucked in too much and will rub against your suspension.

A lower ET will push your wheels toward the fender. Your current wheel has to high of an ET and will interfere on the inner suspension. (tire size is irrelevant here) You will want to get some 15-20 mm spacers and push them out more. You should have any problem with the tire at OEM height. Take a ruler and measure your current OEM wheel from the face of the wheel to the fender (in cm/mm) and this will give you an idea on how far out you can push the wheel. Use this, http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel...ulator#Results and you will be able to determine how much the wheel set up your looking at needs in terms of spacers. OEM is 18x8 ET 43.

Here's a visual to aid.

Assuming you are on stock wheels, here are the differences. That offset may be too high. Doesn't mean you can't throw on a 5-10MM spacer and get SAFE fitment. (10MM looks to be the ticket, looks like the edge of the tire isn't much further out than OEM) If it were me, I'd run 12MM Spacers all around

Here is with just bolting the wheel on:
