New wheel pics. Can i lower w/o rubbing?
The wheel well gap on S5's I've seen pics of with stock 19" Cavos looked fine at stock height but my gap looks slightly bigger. Are S5 sport suspensions lower than A5 sport suspensions? Would this be able to drop on H&R springs without rubbing? 19x9.5 et25 w/ 265/35/19. Thought 265s on 9.5" should work since 10" with 275s were lowered with no issue.

Thanks!! I actually don’t mind the back ride height at all at a two finger gap but the front is 3 and throwing me off that the fronts higher. With my coilovers on past cars I always made the front a tad lower. Will H&R springs correct this and get it even or just lower .8 from its current state? I really don’t want the rubbing issues I’ve had on my previous cars when fully loaded so I may just wait till these tires are done and get 255s. This is my car with just the stock wheels and tires. I’m more concerned about the front though hitting bumps and potholes

The S5 and A5 use the same part number for the H&R Springs (50385). The additional weight from the V6 in the S5 may be providing additional drop up front vs the 4 cylinder. So unfortunately the reverse rake will remain.
