Wheel/Suspension Mod

I know the Moda R6 is a hot wheel mod on the B5. Personally, I love it.

I have the idea of going for a used pair with SO3's (245/40/18)... Would this cause for rubbing on an 99 2.8 A4? Also I still have stock suspension where is the best place to get a good spring/shock setup without spending too much, and how much more would it be to save for coilovers.

S03s are a wider tire already...

So stock 225 i heard are closer to 235, i know people who run 235 w/o a problem. But 245 is pushing it too much.

Basically I'd need to replace the tires to either 225 or 235....

How would getting Eibach Pro Kit Springs work, any opinions? What shocks would be best to complete the suspension with? Sway bar really that necessary or should I hold off

I have Eibach Pro Kit...

and personally it is too soft for me. It will feel just like stock only lower the car about .75 inches assuming you have sport package. As for the sway bar i can't say i don't have a rear one, i only have the stock front one that came on my car. As for shocks get the grooved neuspeed bilsteins, i love mine.
