Default Biggest Tire Size that can fit on A4 Quattro??? I have 18x8.5
I have the Brabus 18x8.5 The Rims can fit 255/30/18 on them but that cause the tire to rub and not even move.. Does anyone have any clue as to what is the biggest size down that will fit on the car without rubbing problems??

Thanks

Default i'm going to be running 235/40/18... but some people have had some rubbing issues
225 will fit w/ no rubbing but don't give too much lip protection.

Default T-1s are very narrow compared to Dunlops or S03s. There was a huge difference (read narrower and a
bit shorter in height) between a set of Dunlop Sp8000s and the T-1s in 225x45.
