19" RS6 replica wheels with 245/35/19 tires
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/45251/100_0446.jpg"></center><p>Just put on the new wheels and tires and would like to share with you all. Other modifications include H&R sport springs and Koni sport shocks. The wheels are 8Jx19 ET30. There were some rubbing at first and I took the wheels to the machine shop and shaved off 3mm (equivalent to ET33, and the problem is solved.

wouldn't it have been easier to
1) Roll the fenders or...
2) Shave/trim the inner, plastic, wheel well.
I did both and haven't looked back. I just found it harder to deal with machining the wheel and have kept the integrity of it. But I guess that's gonna add a whole new meaning to "custom" wheels...
Anyway, the car looks sharp! How do you like the ride with H&R's and Koni's? Just curious as I was never really a fan of Koni dampers...

I'm glad they don't rub anymore. As for me, I have that exact size rim/tire...
And I have H&R coilovers. When I switched from 235/35s to 245/35s, I just raised the height like half an inch and there's no more rubbing. Also, I've never done it before, but you could roll the fenders if it starts rubbing again.
