Default You should be able to run 245/35-18 or 235/40-18 I 245/35 on 18x8.5 BBS CHs Et 35
and I am lowered.

235/40-18 are taller than 245/35-18 and have a greater chance of rubbing.

One thing to keep in mind is with the stock suspension, the wheel gap is already huge, and with the smaller overall diameter of a 245/35 it will make the gap even bigger.

If you are planning to stay stock suspension, 235/40 would be a good choice.

Default Where did you get 8.5" Wide RS4 DTM wheels? Mine are 18 x 8...
Anyway, Imolavirus says he ran 245/35/18's on his 18 x 8's w/Stoptech 355 BBK and didn't rub (surely his fenders were rolled.

Default Yea, um... I think the guy I bought them from is wrong. They have to be 8.0's
because everywhere I look they only come in 8.0 as far as the widest. Thanks.
