Hello! I recently bought an old Audi a4 and upen further inspection I noticed the rear wheels were worn all the way to the tire-thread on the side facing the car. After trying to put on a new set of wheels I noticed the reason for the extreme rubbing - I was just wondering, is there an easy way to solve this? I'm currently using 225/40/18

See attached img with red circle for where the tires rub against.

Either the camber is WAY off and needs to be aligned that why its hitting. Or you have too large of wheels and tires on it.

I agree with Prospeeer. I had this same problem on my front tires and couldn't figure it out until I discovered they weren't rubbing at all and the camber was way off and the ground was actually putting a groove in the tire.

Fat tires on 18" wheels with lowering springs? Gonna rub something. I'd re-visit the whole set-up. 195/65/15 is the original stuff.
