Rubbing with the Dunlop SP5000s on S4...some advice please
2000 S4 with H&R springs with the SP5Ks (235/45) on OZ Novas (17"x8" / ET35). They rub during aggressive cornering.
If I switch the tires to the stock wheels can anyone here vouch that there is no rubbing during fun driving?

Its a combination of springs & wider/taller tire.
Doing a fender lip roll will take care of that rubbing issue, or give up the SP5000s & switch to a summer tire in 225/45R17 & you should be fine!

I used them last winter (Philly area) and loved them
although I really miss my summer tires, the PP S02's, those tires in the 235/40/17 really made a huge difference in the car. I only use the SP5K's for a "winter" tire.
I can't wait for the warm weather again....
