STFA already, and need some advice/pics.
I really don't want to have to roll my fenders.
The wheels are new B7 RS4 Reps and the tires are PNero Zero M&S.
Thanks guys.

would you still be concerned about hitting a control arm with a smaller/narrower tire? (more)
I ask because these are Velocity Motoring's lastest B7 RS4 Reps, which they promise to clear B5S4 brakes as well as BBKs.
I was originally going with a 235/40/18 but I heard it might rub. Someone suggested 245/35/18 but Pirelli PZero Nero isn't available in that size.
Thanks for the input.

I had liners removed as well as rolling them on my 255's to clear. My setup does not rub on
aggressive cornering (i.e trackworthy). It is higher than some @ ~ 25.5F.

nope... I ran that offset & tire size for years with the only need being front fender rolling..
and trim the liners (very minor). I was even lower than 25.5" and it rarely rubbed with soft H&R streets. Hitting the control arms is a non-issue with this setup.
