295/30/R22 will they fit 2014 A8L TDI.

I have searched quite a bit but can't seem to find anyone running a 295/30/22. I currently have a 265/30/22 and it is just a little to low profile. They have a lot more stretch than I like and I have one wheel that has a slow leak that they tried to fix with bead sealer but it is still leaking. If I can't fit a 295 will a 285 rub? I believe the front is the only concern and I have read a few posts that talk about some bolt or screw that needs to be removed from the inner fender well.


Thanks
Ty

It will fit but can rub. We don't recommend that size.

Thanks Mike! The problem is there is too much lip on the wheel exposed and I am catching a few rocks on the road that are chipping the powder coating off. What about a 285? Plus I still have this slow leak loosing about 20lbs a day currently so maybe slow leak is not the right description.

I do love your VFS-1 wheels though.

we'll be running 285's on our future set-up...from what I can see, it'll be fine.
it of course totally depends on your offset and suspension settings.

I am looking at doing 22 also, will this take away from performance I love to drive fast ........

I am running 295 25 22 in the rear of my car without rubbing. Rims are 22x10.5 et +45.

^ yeh...that's why.
your offset is 15mm inset more than most running 10.5's. it's common flush fitment to run them in the 30 range for that width.

I had these rims and tires on a Mercedes S63 previously. I had bought these tires brand new 2 months before I sold the car. I'm waiting until these run down then I'm going to replace all with 285 30 22. The fronts currently have 245 30 22. They are the same diameter as the 295 25 22 at 27.8" tall so it won't damage the drive train.
