Default Fit Issues for RS4 Rep's 18x8.5 et35 w/ 235/40/18 tires? Xpost from 5/26/05

Yes I have STFA & I could not find a definitive answer.

Yes 18x8.5 might fit but they typically where not RS4 reps's (mostly BBS rims). 2nd I want to run 235's on the 8.5" rim since that is the optimal size for the rim.

I have no suspension mods & probably wouldn't be lowering her at a later date.

Default I have these. 3mm spacers up front were needed, and longer lug bolts. Also note that they are cone..

seat lug bolts.

Default Based on the info presented, you should have no problems. A few other things..

-If you fender/wheel liner is not modded, ride height: 25.75" or higher, should be no rub.

-If lower, you'll most likely need to modify your fender/wheel liner. Then you'll be fine until about 24.75". If lower, nothing will save you from rubbing. :-P

3mm Spacer to clear what? The brakes? If so, those are extremely thick spokes. :-P
