I lowered my 2000 S4 with Eibach Progressive Springs and upgraded from the 17" stock Avus wheels to a set of RS4 9 spoke 18x8.5" wheels using 235/40/zr18 tires. After about 9k miles I discoverd that my tires were rubbing on my lower control arms, destroying the insides of my tires. I guess I need spacers, only what size? Anyone know and/or have similar experiences?

What offset are your 9-spokes?

The manufacturer of the wheels listed them as 18 x 8.5"- 35mm - 57.1cb. I put 235/40's on them while the stock wheels were 17's with 225/50 tire size, originals from Audi.

I plugged in my 8.5 width and 35 offset from the wheels and got odd #'s for the spacers. Am I right in assuming that I need a 13mm spacer on front and a 19mm spacer on the rear? Since this calculator is for a TT is it right for a B5 S4?
