Default Xpost: after waiting more than 10 wks for wheels, finally got the forged 20" sportecs

in yesterday with 265/30/20s. Got the wheels mounted and balanced, with appopriate sportec 10 mm spacers, and what do you know? No fit. Front wheels are rubbing on control arms. Back wheels won't even fit onto hub because of control arm. Even with a narrower tire, doesn't appear that a 20" wheel will fit on the rears. I know the other black widebody sedan runs these wheels with no issues. Could the control arms be different for the avant? Totally dissapointed. This whole wheel issue is becoming a major pain in the ***. Thoughts?

Default Utopiacar on AZ has 20" on his S4 Avant

He's running BBS Lemans 20x8.5" with Pirelli Pzero Nero 245/30/20. Maybe you could check with him.

Default Thread Jack: I need to come see your car sometime soon! (EDIT!)

Adam, we should do some pulls before I start custom tuning on the stock turbo. I know you'll destroy me at this point; I'm only in the low 13s. Then the 20G is going in 3-6 months from now.

Sucks to hear the DUBs are not fitting, I'd like to see them.
