Question: I have run 255 35 19 tires on my OEM RS4 wheels no issue. Looking into changing tire set up will running 265 35 19 tires on OEM RS4 wheels should the 265's work OK or will I experience rubbing and/or clearance issues with the brake rotors?

I have 265/35r19 Conti ECS tires on 19x9.5 et25 wheels and they fit perfectly. I ground the little "nub" off the front uprights to be sure.

I am running same OEM RS4 wheels with 265/35 Pilot Sports and made no mods to anything and no problems. They may rub a little in fender well at full steering wheel lock not sure. Curious, what difference would tire size make to any brake clearance? They'll fit.
Swapped out my V702s for V701s. These are 19x8.5 ET 45? I believe. I am running a 5mm spacer front and rear.
Thinking about swapping the rears for 19x9.5

I run 19x9.5 et33 square
265/35/19
fits perfect
imho the et45 are not the best fit for RS6 fender openings.
Thinking of upgrading my wheels would be a staggered set of 19x9 Forged Monoblock for Audi B8 Chassis ( A5, A4, S5, S4) 2009 to 2015 model yearsUltra lightweight 19x9 ET24 and 19x9 ET19 fit the RS6 with rolled fenders? I read this whole thread and it seemed to suggest anything to 20MM to 30MM was good however I need opinions/inpput. Mu current RS4 OEMs are 29 ET and work perfectly
Seller states: May fit larger Audi Sedans with spacers.
Will fit B8 Allroad with a spacer.
Staggered fitment flush with fenders - No rubbing
Thanks!
Yes, 275/30s will go right on
I think a 285 would or 295 might fit the rear....
After running 4 or 5 sets of 275/30 and 35's have noticed actual tire sizes vary by several MM. But generally haven't had any problems (once the hub carrier nub was removed) with clearance if the off set is appropriate. Solved with a quiver of wheel spacers....
I have the same size and offset as you Dave. Except on the rear which is 31mm.
Does anyone have data points re: running a staggered set of 19x9 ET24 front and 19x9 ET19 rear? Is it possible & if yes do fenders need to be rolled?
I agree on both counts
285 or 95 could work on the rear but I prefer square setups on all my Audis
i also found a quite beefy 265/35/19 Michelin PSS in NO fitment. Which means Porsche fitment. That tire is fat and wide.
Suits the RS6 perfectly.

Avoid staggered setups, they will make the car handle horribly. If anything, only good for looks.
Most of the weight is in the front, so with square setup it's nice and balanced. You put more meat in the rear - it starts to understeer in the utterly disgusting fashion.
Ask me how I know: got the car with 275s in the front, 315s in the rear.
I really see no reason to run non-square setup on this. 285s or 275s on all 4 corners will give you plenty of grip and also look totally fine.
But YMMV for all I know.
Yes, this setup will work fine w 265/35/19. I actually like it over the 275/30
my style is this....fill the arch, match up sidewall to fender gaps
275/40/20 on OEM forged RS7 wheels. Lots of sidewall and beefy tire that sits well in the wheel arch. 2in drop on the SQ5

275's won't handle well as they could/should or look good on 9" wheels. A slight compromise could be made using Japanese tires and 35 series (255-265/35's). Conti, Michelin and Vredestein are true or wide for their size.
Most likely narrow tires will be needed for those positive offsets and fenders rolled more. Ride height is a big factor as well.
After last weekend drive now have a border line justifiable reason to have a set of 19x10's made.. If I can get my body guy to make some nice OE looking fender flares....even bigger.
Can anyone confirm 285/35/19 will fit on the rear with 19x9.5 et33 wheels?
