19"

[cwwear]

ive just fitted a set of 19" new rs4 wheels to my 2004 a3 tdi sport and when ever its 3 up and i go over small bump sometimes i can hear a rubbing noise from the rear. is there a way to stop this?

I've had this problem with previous cars I've owned. I had to jack it up, get the back wheels off to see what it was. Hopefully it won't be catching your arches as this will damage the tyres fast. Its more than likely catching of the plastic inner wheel arch liner. You could avoid this with spacers but then you run the risk of the previos problem of catching the outer arches. Let me know how you get on!

Hi I've done the same thing and had rubbing problems until I simply removed two screws in the top of the rear arches. This is the simplest and cheapest way to remove stop the problem. Hope this helps. p.s you shouldn't need spacers if the wheels were bought specifically for your vehicle.
