fronts are pre-rolled

rears, since your going low and since you're adding spacers, the roll is required. Unless you pull a lot camber, which would be dumb on oem wheels just to fit spacers.





Get those fenders rolled or run smaller spacers, like 20mm in the rear. Only cause your plans are to be slammed. If it was a moderate drop then things will be different.

EDIT

are you running oem size tires? if so, you might get away with no fender rolling. But I would still do it.

20/25 is the common setup and best fits without any future issues, like lowering the car or having full load.

I'm lowered with a wee bit of added neg camber front and rear, and currently have the 20/25 setup. I wish I had 25/30 now. 25/30 should be just right, and not make the rim stick out past the fender, but have it close to flush.

Thanks guys...looks like 20mm front and 25mm rear is what I'm going w/.

I'm not sure what size the tires are, I'll have to check. I assume OEM though. I just bought the car last weekend.

Do you guys usually take the car somewhere to have the fenders rolled or do it yourself. I would do it myself but I don't want to buy the tool. Is there somewhere you can rent one?

There are shops out there that can do the fender roll. Are you in So.cal? If not, post up a thread in you local regional section and find out who can or where you can get it done.

Yeah your probably oem tire size. If you plan on going slammed might as well put 25/30 spacers and roll the fenders. It will look so much better.

Well I live in Minneapolis and the tuner scene isn't that big here. I've been into Audis for the last 5 years so I'm new to these cars.

I already ordered the spacers so I'm just going to throw them on, and then when I lower it I'll have to assess the situation from there.

since you got coils just adjust the height where no rubbing will occur.

post back when installed. Who knows, I might be wrong...

yes you can, no issues at all. That was my first drop suspension I had. But if you do spring mount mod, then fenders will need to be rolled.

Yes, I ran this with no problems with stock tire sizes. But with a larger rear tire (255/40/19) I rubbed until I rolled my fenders.

To the OP I'm currently running 25mm all around and lowered pretty low on coils and rub the front a bit. But then again I'm much lower than I should be for the spacers size and am currently running -3 degrees of camber in the fronts and -4 degrees in the rears.

only thing that I dont like about 25mm all around are that the front wheels will look more flush than the rears. In regards to having the upsize tires only.

^True, 30's in the rear should give a uniform look all around. I currently have 25's in th rear and the wheels are slightly tucked.

Thats the third time i have heard that I admit i really would like 25/30 but im afraid of tearing my fenders apart!! Do you think i can pull that off with 350 z H techs and OEM Rays without rolling my fenders?
