Default Couple questions (alarm issue, wheel issue) and all ready STFA-

1- Every morning, my car alarm goes off. I read in the forums the the sensors over-sensitivity can cause this from a window being open, or something. But it seems like it happens when the car heats up too much, and not because of the wind causing trouble. Suggestions?

2- This is a do you think these will fit question. They are RS4 reps, 235/35/19 et42. On my car, I have 235/40/18 et35. The ones on my car now do occasionally hit the fenders when I drive aggressively. I have not rolled the fenders (yet). What do you think?

Thanks.

Default I've been meaning to, but it's a rare occasion when they rub. What's the worst that could happen? :)

Do you think my other setup would fit?

Default On second thought, I don't think my current setup ever hits the fenders, just that plastic lining so

should I take that lining out or what do people do?

Default I had to roll my fenders for 235/40/18's (lowered). Worst thing that will happen, will chew up your

tires, unless you rectify that.
