Default 245 width tires
does anyone run 245 width tires on their A4? If so do you have any tire rub? did you have to roll your fenders?

Default I don't rub with 235's
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/59187/a4_driv_side.jpg"></center><p>235/45/ZR17 Kumhos. Moda 17x7.5 R6 wheels. H&amp;R Race springs with Koni's.
In fact it don't think it's too close at all. 245's would fit. I don't rub at all full turn, and it doesn't really look close. Don't know about at full compression but I don't think so.

Default I have 245/35/18 tires on my A4 1.8T
No one can predict whether or not you will rub unless they have your specific wheels, offset, tires, suspension ride height, and driving characteristics.
