It will likely rub, even if you roll your fenders. Plus 19's are overkill on a B5 and the ride will
be so harsh it will shake the fillings out of your teeth each time you hit a bump in the road.

I am almost certain that the rears will rub the uprights with a 45 offset on a 9.5" wheel.
Not certain about the front inside, but the outer edge of the wheel will stick out just under 3mm more than a 8.5" wheel with a 35 offset.
FYI, 245 tire om a 35 mm offset, 8.5" wide wheel will rub on race suspension, even with the fenders rolled.

Are you running 245 on 18x8.5? Just got the same setup and was wondering
on how to compromise with ride-height and rolling fenders. How much room do you think I need from top of tire to bottom of fender so I can drive aggressively without rubbing? Curious about your experience.

Please tell me stretching isn't comming to the Audi community
It's rampant in the VW community, and quite frankly, I think it looks stupid......not to mention the loads it puts on the tires that they were never designed for. Who in their right mind mods for de-performance, anyway? Most of the dubbers are skint, and are running cheap-a$$ Korean rubber, but still.
Some times the Euros get it all wrong. Point: the latest fad is US spec lights and tails. Pay intercontinental shipping for inferior lighting and put it on a car which already has notoriously bad lighting? M-kay. Fad away.
Rant over. More coffee, please.

With all the 'cookie cutter' modded Audis out there, it's fresh to see people trying new things... ...even if others don't always like/get it.
Do what you like, not what everyone else is following

Yes, then that will work but good luck. Hope you don't parallel park too often.
Also, we all know that Falken tires are not as wide as others. So, you might get away with 235/35/19 if you go with Falken.

I am running 19x9.5 with et 32 in the rear, and they barely fit. they are flush with the flairs and
they almost rub on the inside. I am running 245/35/19's too.<ul><li><a href="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/47440/s4_bbs_lm3.jpg">http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/47440/s4_bbs_lm3.jpg</a</li></ul>
