ET37 on a 9.0-20 rim

Looks good, love the white and black, and the open style rotors are different too.

What type of wind deflectors have you got, was thinking of some of those for my RS?

Looks great!! I recently fitted some 20" 9J ET37, 5-Segment alloys to mine, and i think they are just rubbing slightly when i go over speadbumps too quick.

Have you noticed any rubbing whatsoever before or after lowering?

Also what size are your tyres? I bought mine with 255/35/20's on it, but would probably be better to have 255/30/20's.

Im very tempted to get springs for mine, but wasnt sure if id be making the rubbing worse!

That looks spot on

What was the drop?25mm ?

No rubbing at all buddy , i have 255/30-20 fitted

The springs i got said 35-40mm but would say the drop just now is about 15mm on the standard s4 springs

Just looking to see how you have got on after letting the springs settle?

Mine rubs quite alot if i am pushing on! Any low points or dips in the road normally result in a rub if i have any pace, and it looks to be rubbing on the inside edge of the wings.

It at the point where im considering replacing all 4 tyres for either 245/30/20 or 255/30/20. I wouldnt want to fork out for the 255's only for it to keep scraping. (Either way it is a shame as the 255/35's are nearly new)

As odd as it sounds, i think the springs may also help as they would tuck the wheels into the arches slightly?

Would be keen to hear your feedback! Cheers.

I did some research on 9x20 and what I got out of it was you need ET42 to be sure of no rub on a 255/30x20 tyre. The rub normally occurs on the front arch lip/clip.

Hence why I went with a 8.5x20 ET35 which works out the same (approx). Although not many 20's come in a 8.5 width.

Thanks mate. I did do some research too, but i really didnt think it would have made that much of a difference. It may just be my heavy foot, but its almost daily it rubs!

I think the safe option would be the 245/30's, but the 255/30's may work okay with the springs. Interested in the OP's feedback.

Absolutely no rubbing at all , even with some hard driving and cornering . Also had 4 adults in car with luggage and no issues. Used a company in Germany that specialises in tuning Audi/VW's for the wheels and they guaranteed i wouldn't have issues even with the new springs fitted and they seem to be true to their word.
If you use one of them wheel and tyre configurators you will see that the difference between the 8.5-19 with 255/35-19 is minimal to the 9.0-20 with 255/30-20's fitted
