just picked up polished fat five a8 wheels 17x8 et35 came with 225/55 tires and in the front it rubs my upper control arms. I was going to buy spacers but my buddy told me i should be fine with 225/45 tires without spacers....
so i just wanted to make sure before i buy them if anyone is running 17x8 et35 wheels with 225/45 tires without spacers and have any problem with rubbing the upper control arm or anything else....thank
I'm looking at rims n tires web site and as far as suspension goes it theoretically should clear all suspension fine (the inside wheel and tires are only 5mm ( .2" ) closer. The wheel will come out from the fender by 1" due to the 35mm offset. You might need to roll the fenders for clearance, but I can't say for certain.
Bad photo, test fitting some a8 rims and they work no problems. Using them currently no rubbing. Gap is a little less than photo because the shocks haven't decompressed after lifting yet.
