Default 245/35 fit. I have Yoko's avs sport on 18" x 8 rims.

I had both front and rear guards rolled and i have 5mm clearance to suspension components on the inside. There is no way that 255 will fit inside the guards and you would also require a non standard offset even if you did try to fit them, and that would effect straight line stability especially under braking. (i know this from experience on a previous car) Thats why the RS4 has flared arches and slightly different suspension geometry.

needless to say the car sticks like **** to a blanket with 245s anyway!
