that'll be it! Ignore the suspension shown on the drawing its only to show the side that it is on rather than the position itself although the 2 lots of wheels and tyres will be spot on - the new wheels will project 11mm out more than the old ones and 27mm more inwards, and that could be your problem

i Used to run 10x20 ET35 with 255/35/20 front and rear on my A8 with KW2. I'd say thats just perfect stretch... Wider tires make it look like truck/tractor
![]() No rubbing or scraping even when car fully loaded ![]()

Thats a result
![]() I'd note how much space you have too if you can as the new tyres will be straighter onto the wheels than the current stretched narrower ones ![]()

Yes full lock both ways and no problem
![]() There was quite a bit of room so hopefully new tyres will be ok. Still not sure what size to run. My mate runs 245/35/20 on his RS4 and they look and handle great might go 255/35 if I can. ![]()
