A5 wheels on C6 = rubbing
I purchased these wheels from a 2012 Audi A5/S5 19" x 8.5" (ET34) alloy wheels (manufactured for Audi) by Speedline in Italy. The tires are Pirelli P-Zero 255/35-19.
Installed them on my car - 2006 C6 3.2. The car is lowered with Eichach springs and Koni shocks.
Front work great - but the rear is rubbing. Does anyone know if the problem will be eliminated with a different size tire?
From what I hear folks have no issue with switching to these wheels from stock suspension.
Any ideas?

You might be able to do it with a tire size change, but then you are losing cushion volume, rolling diameter and some ride height (minimal on the latter).
How much is it rubbing and when? A lot? Or just when loaded up?
I think the progressive nature of the Eibachs may be too soft initially, allowing the sag and rub on big tires. Consider rolling the fender lips and removing some of the liner.

Rubbing only appears to happen when I sit in the car (and thats just me in the car, and not fully loaded).
