How low is your A4? And what size tires would you be running?

Default I think my friend's OZ supperL's are 8 wide and his offest is 35, if that helps you figure out what

you need to run, or contact Eddie, who works at tirerack.com, he can help as well.

Default No, that is what the BBS RXII is and I run that

You would need to run 225/40/18 tires on it. You can run wider tires if you roll the fender lip.

Default IT WILL RUB depending how low you go

I have BBS RCs and they rubbed with 225/40/18. They are 18x8.5 with a 32 offset. They did not rub when the car was an inch higher. just for reference, I have a 1 finger gap front and rear.
