Default Question for 20" wheel owners:

I got 20x9 ET 40 on 265x35x20 and now experience rubbing upfront when making heavy turns on dips. I am also lowered with H&R. I noticed this before on my 19" stock S6 wheels with 15mm spacers, but I had to really throw my car in a turn with a dip. Now it is more frequent. Anyone with 20" have this issue? TIA

P.S. The car looks SICK! Pics to come.

I am clearing rears perfect. No rubbing when I dip or dip hard over speedbumps... only on turns with the above. What size tires are you running and what is your width and offset on your wheels? Thanks... this makes me feel a little better knowing I'm not alone on this LOL.

I'm running 20x9 ET 35 wheels wearing 235/30/20 series rubber bands. No rubbing issues

Yeah, I just talked to my guy and he is going to replace my 265/35/20 with 265/30/20. Man, I hope that it will be enough rim protection with 30% of 265 for the tire wall height.

You are a brave man my friend running the 235/30/20 combo.

good luck with it,looking forward to your pictures...
is it true that if you have a "quattro" you better use front and rear the same with size of the wheel.....?
thanks

Default The offfset is a little low

Is your rubbing in the inside fender? I beleive your offset should be closer to 45. Altough the 30 profile should be a better fit and may reduce the rubbing.

Yes, it should be fairly close. The tranny can tolerate some differences, but the front and rear should be as close as possible.
