If your offset is less aggressive then you should have zero issues with rubbing.

For reference, this is with a Michelin Pilot Super Sport.
So it rubs on the outside? In other words, you would want to take off spacers before going with a 265?

The VMR 708 is 20x9 ET 35, so it will be in 10mm from your set-up

Yes it rubs on the fender side.

Depends on the size of your spacers. I would expect a 10-12 mm spacer (on stock wheels) to have no issues.

Rubbing will also depend on the tire brand as some have more square shoulders. Michelin are very wide at the edges compared to other brands.

I'm running that exact same size on my 2019 S6 with the sport package... zero issues and that size seems to have changed the "stance" of the car .

I'm running them on 20x9 ET29 wheels. Some occasional rubbing if I hit a dip in the road fast and wheel is turned. But most of time no issue.
