wheels scraping
 

i have a 99 a4 2.8 and i have a full rs4 body kit on it. it has 19' hp evos on it, im on stock suspension and i only have a 1 finger gap, my problem is that i scrap my tires on the inside of the body and also on the fender, its taking huge chunks outta my wheels. i was wondering what would be my best bet on what to do about it, i was thinking of getting some stiff springs and buying new wheels, possibly 18's or if i have to 17's but before i do anything i wanna know what u guys think is my best bet.

might need to roll your fenders

you scrape on stock suspension and 19's??? i dont think this should happen... is your car on sport suspension? still i think there is a problem, it shouldnt do this,,, correct me if im wrong. how wide?

EDIT: what profile are your tires?

RE: wheels scraping
 

I think turbo kraut is right - if you roll your fenders you may reduce or eliminate the problem. Sounds like your wheels aren't the right offset. There are not a lot of people with 19s on a B5, but there are enough, and I don't recall seeing any of them posting this type of post before, so I bet you have the wrong offset. 19" wheels should fit in there easily enough, even on a lowered car, let alone yours with stock suspension. Verify the offset of the wheels, and roll your fenders. If neither of those work, sell the wheels - you're going to kill yourself buying tires if you don't - and get different wheels with the correct offset.

im pretty sure that offset is wrong it should be like 35 best place to check is audiworldforums.com or tirerack.com do not know for 19s

RE: wheels scraping
 

my bad guys when i said my wheel size i meant to say 235/35/19

RE: wheels scraping
 

what i ment by 35 is the wheel offset . not the tire it should be between 32 thru 40 offset im pretty sure the tire size is right you cant really go lower .and those rims look like the offset is wrong ther sticking out a bit in the front
