Pretty sure you'd be the first. Although, with the dog leg at the front of the rear wheel

opening, I can't see that technique working in the rear.

That car doesn't look lowered, is it?

Hyperco springs 450/500 and Bilstein shocks

looks to be a little lower in the rear than the front<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/skabaru/car_stuff/audrey_the_audi/mods/wheels_and_tires/r_compounds_on/p9020003.html">http://public.fotki.com/skabaru/car_stuff/audrey_the_audi/mods/wheels_and_tires/r_compounds_on/p9020003.html</a</li></ul>

I sure hope yo have a BIG turbo?

iirc, buddyracing did this to an A4?

Cut slots, opened it up, filled slots w/ triangles and called it a day.

Might do something similar to this on my 4000 front fenders to clear the 235 track rubber, as it does rub when compressing in turns. That and it hits the front/rear of the wheel well, but that's b/c I'm running 235/45/17 on a car that used to rock 195/60/14 :-P

275s is about all you'll fit under OEM RS4 fenders.

Anything more, I'm sure you'll be looking into modifying uprights.

I'm with you. No rolling will get you that wide.

I run an 18x9.5 with a 255/35/18... ET35 iirc

There is NO room to go anywhere at all. What is the offset of the wheels? For a 275, you would need to space the wheel out quite a bit which would mean damn near going widebody versus simply pulling the fender.
