Default will 19 inch rs6 reps fit...

I am lowered with MTM springs, and have no issues with rubbing now on stock wheels. Does anyone know if 19s will rub and/or require fender rolling?

I was told by both Achtuning and Hartmann that there are fitment issues with the RS6 replicas on B5.

Default It means to fold up that lip of metal inside the front fender to make more clearance for wheel/tire

This can be done with a tool that is desinged for the job or with other methods such as using a baseball bat or pipe to "roll" along the inside edge of the fender. Important to keep the area warm/hot to prevent paint cracking.

It often involves cutting out some of the plastic liner.

Ah, that's right, I forgot about the 19's being 8.0". Thanks for correcting me Bill.
