Default anyone have 275-35-19 michelin ps2 on theri b7 rs4?

I have Michelin pilot sport 2's on my stock rims and they fit fine but front rubs on the upper a arm with a 5 mm eibach spacer and said spacer is not made with a hub centric shoulder resulting in vibration at 100 km/hr.Does anyone know how to solve this problem?12 mm spacers with the shoulder are too wide the tires hit the fender.It is possible I could get away with 7-8 mm but I can't find a spacer that thin with the wheel locating shoulder.Can anyone help me?Thanks.

I am using the PS2's in 275/30-19 size on all fours and they fit fine on my MTM rims without rubbing with my stock DRC suspension. Note the PS2 275/35-19's have the same section width/tread width as on the 275/30-19's, but are an inch greater in diameter, so one option would be to switch to the 275/30-19's.

Run 275-30-19's w/ 10mm spacers and you will be fine

Thanks for the reply.I prefer the higher sidewall of the 35 profile.The 30 profile 275 is much smaller than the original 255-35-19.Do you know if there is another solution becuase these tires fill the wells nicely.Thanks again.

285/30/19 is the closest to stock rolling diameter and you'll get a little more sidewall action.

I`ve got 275/35 19 on stock rims and they`re great, since I fitted them I never had a cracked rim. Steering is not the same but hey you can`t have them both.
Mine don`t rub but I have bilstein coilovers and h&r arbs. You`ll also loose some performance because of weight and bigger diameter of wheels.
