Default Question fo Gary - 18" Tire size question

Gary - I'll going to upgrade to 18" wheels/tires on my '02 A4 Avant 1.8. Any issue with using 245/40 vs 235/40. Wheel is 35 ET, 8.5 width.

I'd be concerned about rubbing with that wide of a tire on an 8.5" wheel. If you decide to try it, be sure to test fit before driving on them.

Default Gary, the 235 OK on the 8.5 wheel or use a wider wheel?

Yes, 235/40R18 will still fit that wheel just fine.
