I have the full MTM setup on my 2001 S4 Avant. The wheel/tire setup is 18x8.5 BBS CH's w/ 225/40-18 Pilot Sports. I took a right turn moderately fast, over a not-so-smooth road, and had some significant rubbing on the front driver-side tire.

Has anyone else with this setup had rubbing problems? Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm worried about how bad this will be at the track.

Curvy-at-times, two and four lane travel at speeds of 75-90 mph with wife, toddler and about 70 lbs of "stuff" in the cargo area ... no rubbing front or rear. I even jacked the car up because I thought my front diffuser was sagging. While lifted, I inspected the wheel wells and suspension arms and couldn't find any evidence of contact.

I like the CHs too ... but worried that ET 35 on an 8.5" in rim would be too much for the MTM Full.

Where is the rubbing taking place? Wheel well liner, fender lip, suspension component? What are your front/rear ride heights?

I have the H&R regular coilovers. I just got my car back from Reeves today. I had the car raised up to approximately 25.375". They had the car about .25" lower on Friday and it rubbed pretty bad on hard rights turns but it was 5 PM so I left the car there over the weekend. I actually don't have too much threading left on the shock body to go up much higher. It still rubs in very hard right turns (The S-curves on Rome Rd. are a good test road.) or when I have a surface change and take a 90 degree right with some speed. I really think the only solution are rolling the fenders or a smaller tire.

What are your ride heights at with the MTM suspension?
