Hi There,
This would be my first thread and I'm really looking fw for more , hopefully not regarding issues :) .
This is a an excellent place for BEAST owners, to have a word. Keep up the good work and glad to be part of this exquisite forum .
Now, back to my issue :
I recently bought 4 x 19"9J ET35 genuine 5 spoke rims for my c5 RS6 2004 and guess what ? When I put them on ,big unpleasant surprise , the tire is rubbing the upper fishbone head . After tons of measuring , spacers on , spacers off , testing on another car , I FINALLY SOLVED THE MYSTERY with mik15's help , thanks for that, man .
It seems that the fishbone comes , just not ready to adopt 19" rims ( standard size or more ) , from AUDI and needs a bit adjustment . I just uploaded 2 pictures below to highlight the difference :
13658 13659
This is mine This is my friend's
My friend's RS6 came from the factory with 19" 5spoke rims and the fishbone , "adjusted" :))) but mine came with 18" and the untouched arm :)
I'll do the adjustment soon but in between if you guys have any suggestions , please feel free.
P.S. just felt the need to share with you a picture from last night , Abu Dhabi rs6 club :)
