Who's rolled their fenders? Professionally done?
I'm rubbing on harder turns on the beefier 235/35/19 kdw's. I can't imagine those of you lowered guys not having to roll.
Steve S believes the B6 can't be rolled, for they're already rolled (compared to the B5 apparently. He's got both, but I'm sure some of you have posted rolling the fender).
Thoughts?
Thanks.

I haven't had the need to roll mine. Absolutely no rubbing whatsoever...

This pic give you a good idea of the height. Even at this height, I can take 3 passengers in the car and I don't have issues.

Sia - is your car dropped yet? just wondering.
i have the same size wheel as dubaudi1 and i have no rubbing issues even with a full car. the only time it rubbed was when i hit a really deep dip/crater. the tire rubbed the wheel well clip which you can remove. its under the very top of the front fenders.

Stock. Ok, who's got 19s and KDWs here? I'm thinking the beefier "look" of the kdw's definitely
isn't an optical illusion ;-)
imagine I'd gone with 245s, lol.
Then again, you guys track your cars, or push them in the twisties once in awhile right?
Note, the way I rubbed, I was going 65 or so on an off-ramp, right-hand turn yesterday. Rubbing on the front left wheel-well.

I have KDW 235/35-19s, and lowered...
mine rubs in the front only when pushed hard. I'm not too concerned as it is only rubbing on the screw head at the top of the fender and not damaging my tires.
I had yokos before on my RS4 reps and they never rubbed. The KDWs are much better tires IMO. They have been getting a bit louder as the miles add up but the noise stops at about 80mph and I rarely drive under 80 on the autobahn. I can deal with the noise for the great handeling and ride.

Ah that's right! Sheetmetal told me of a screw he rubs on with stock suspension and 19s too.
Where's this screw exactly? (humor me while at work and not checking out the car, thanks ;-D)
