19" BBS CK on teh Audi A4

Yea it rained this morning so dont mind the dirty car.

Also the front wheel is totally sticking out. Its actually not rubbing as bad as it would look. It just rubs when going over a dip when turning. Hope this wont cause in issue cuz I dont want to get rid of these wheels.

19x8.5 +35 offset
BBS CK in Anthracite finish

Tires:
235/35YR-19 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2










I know some wont like them..

I like 'em :thumbup:

Rubbing issues never stopped my wheel choice. I tear up my fender when in reverse and turning.

Where does it rub, maybe going to 225's instead of the 235's would help. They look great on the car. What are you dropped on?

im sure going 225s would help. Im dropped on Neuspeed race springs and koni shocks.

i think it would be cheaper to just roll the fenders than to get new tires.

How do you remember which car is yours as you change wheels as much as some of the jamokes on this board change their underwear.

And I thought you were moving out of the rent's house?

I just put some 19s on my TL and I got the same rubbing issue you do in my rear. I live in an area with out of new construction and there is always alot of gravel on the ground, and with the tires not safely inside the fender like OEM, I am worried about getting rock chips from my tires through up the loose gravel.

I guess it's a small trade off for having the car look good sitting in the parking garage at work.

That aint ricey at all... LED tail lights are made for a pupose which is to give better light output. And plus, its actually an upgrade to your stock bulbs.

Good job on the mod, and I think it looks really good.

Another set of rims?! You change them faster than cars ... I thought you wanted to invest in a townhouse? I hate to rain on your parade but not a good expenditure of funds.

But on the other hand ... looks good. Can't always worry about making money all the time. Maybe all the rubbing you're experiencing might encourage you to shed some pounds. It's almost summer, after all.

Excellent looking rims! How much did it set you back (including tires)?
