Default How low before you rub?

04 USP 6spd 3.0

Looking to pull the trigger on some 19x8.5 VMR rs4 replicas (v708's) but want to make sure they won't rub if I decide to lower it in the future. According to tire calculator i'll be at the same height as stock 18's but def wider. Couldn't find any pics of them on an USP, thanks.

Probably just some eibachs, its really more of a commuter car so no need for full coilovers etc.

hmmm. Are u quattro or not? I would have to say that the 9.5 up front will cause rubbing issues. Do u know the offset of the wheels u plan on getting?
