Recently got a '15 S4 with 18s. Will I have fender clearance issues with a 19x9 ET 33 wheel with 255/35/19's. Thanks all

255/35R19 (XL) is fine, but we stay around ET42 or so for a 19x9. I'd be concerned that ET35 may need a fender lip roll to work safely

Thanks for the input, but I noticed that when I was considering BBS CHs, the Tirerack site lists ET 35 and 255/35/19 as the acceptable plus 1 replacement. Et 33 is 2mm(.080") further out. Seems minimal. How about using a 245/35/19 tire? Thanks again.

The Germans love to have their wheels right at the fender lip for style points, but online you should see our warning that Et35 may require fender modifications (ie fender lip roll) for proper fitment.


Changing to the 245/35R19 will only have a fractional affect on the fitment, so I'd still have concerns.
