I have been looking for a RS4 for several years. I finally found my dream car and it was delivered a couple days ago. One of the first things I have done is add 034 Motorsports wheel spacers. I added 10mm on front and 12.5mm on back. It pulled the wheel out perfectly even with the outside of the wheel well. It looks awesome. Unfortunately, I never anticipated any type of wheel rub. How do I fix this? Was I wrong to add the wheel spacers? Will a set of new coil overs fix this?
I think we can all agree that the original DRC system is dated. I think I am going to add a newer set of KW's or Bilstein's. I just would like to hear feed back from other RS4 owners on the best improvements recommended moving forward. Thanks in advance!

Is it the front or back wheels that are rubbing? Are they rubbing the metal fender or the black plastic fender liner?
Replacing coilovers will not change the wheel to wheel well geometry.
You have good quality wheel spacers but personally I avoid using spacers for several reasons. I prefer to set the rim in the wheel well by choosing rims with the desired offset.

The rear wheel barely rubs on the inside wheel well. There is only one finger space in between the wheel and fender. It needs to come up a little. I really love the look with the spacers. It would be hard to go back...
