Default Anyone using 245/35-18 on an A4 (B5)??

Was wondering if anyone is using 245/35-18 on an A4(B5)? Was there any rubbing against the fender or suspension?

I have a wheel in 18"x8.5 with an offset of 35. Plus Neuspeed Sport springs. I'm curious if I fit the tire size mention.

I just did a search on 245/35/18 and turned up over ten pages of postings.

The diameter is fine, but there is so little clearance in the front... I doubt it would work without some modification. Its a pretty uncommon size for tire selection anyway...

Is there any other tire size that I can use, besides 225/40-18 for the A4 (B5)????

Heard of some using 235/40R18, but still a borderline fit....

Default I'm not worry about the tires rubbing against the fender. Only the backside where the suspension is

My car is lower about 1.25". I've seen some cars with 255/35-18, 18"x10, offset 36, used in the rear. I've also seen 235/40-17, 17"x8, offset 35, used all around. Yes, all these cars were lowered.
