why not 245/35/18's? - they are closer to the stock size and you can get the S02 in that size
I am thinking about getting some AEZ Icon 5 wheels and paring them with some 245/40/17 S-02's
I believe that with 35mm ofset it should work without rubbing. Any comments?

245/35/18 AVS on BBS 18/8.5 ET 35
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/phetdi02.jpg"></center><p>On my previews S4 I had 245/35/18 AVS on BBS 18/8.5 ET 35 with Eibach springs and I did never rub. The car is sold now. So I swapped my wheels with my other A4 avant lowered with Eibach also. It was rubbing (front) on extreme conditions (6 hits in the last 4 months of hard driving)
Basicly, it rub if you are at high speed AND on compression (turning hard) AND there is a hazard on the road making jump the suspension.
Always on the front left tyre!! I am unable to reproduce the same on the right side. No problem with the rear.
On the 6th jan, I will have Koni sport fitted.
I will set them as hard as possible, this should resolve the problem. (This is not a real problem, in fact, I could live with that, but it is a good excuse to buy the koni's)
In resume, ask a test before paying. You can certainly put 245 (and even more) on the rear, but expect having problem with the front.
