I have a 97 B5 lowered 1.5 inches with eibach springs. I currently have 18 inch wheels, with 225-40 tires. These tires are really close to rubbing, and do occasionally when i take a turn into/up a driveway.

I'm looking at some 18 X 7 inch wheels, with 235-45 tires... will these even fit?

First, and more importantly, what shocks are you running?

@wesome

needed to roll fenders.

@wesome

to rub with a bigger one.

Needs to roll fenders.

I was more curious if he still had stock shocks of sorts, because he only mentioned springs.

@wesome

ah I see. I thought you meant it was important to figure out whether the tires will fit or not

Nate (ETKA+Scumbag)

Nah, I kind of figured he would have roll his fenders regardless too.

I had a fair amount of rubbing up front and had to roll my fenders. The 235-45's will be quite a bit bigger diameter than you should be running -- that said, the offset will determine if they fit.

angles and entry speed. welcome to the mod'ed world.

it can't hurt to roll the front fenders, but that won't stop you from rubbing on the plastic liner -- which really won't do any damage to the tire, just the liner. eventually, the process just wears out the liner.

I think I'd skip.
