lowering A4 with 8.5 rims
 
Guy I want to know how far i can take my A4 down, I just put on 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear, I'm running 245/40's on the front, if i roll the fender, can I drop it without rubbing issues?

I don't know exactly how far you can go without rubbing but you could get away with most spring setups.

Doesnt matter with the different width tires as long as they are the sane height then he is all set, but get some coil overs and play around with it. adjsutible ride height is exactly what they are made for.

thats what I have on my 18-8.5, I had it as low as 3” off the ground with my bodykit, and u don’t have to worry about wider rear wheel unless you are Quattro.

Dude tire width doesn't matter, its tire height. With tires that wide it'll most likely be rubbing upfront. How about some pics?

Check the offset of the wheels as well.

i hope your car is not quattro... you cannot buy staggerd wheels then.

Well, I guess I'm in luck, my car is a FWD. But really why would different width matter, size I understand because I'm running 245/40 in the front and 265/35 in the rear... anyways, so I'm guessing I'll be ok if I roll the front fenders??? Here's a couple pics:
