Nice man they look great! What profile did you end up going?

I think a 30 profile is what you may need to avoid the scrubbing

thanks yo

i bought the rims with tyres, theyre oem audi 20's that came with 245 35 20 =/ you think i should go a lower profile ?

I think that would do it. Comparing to my wheels which don't rub, you have 1mm of extra poke because of the offset but the profile increases the size a bit, also the 245 sits wider on the tyre then a 235 which is stretched. Check out this diagram, mine in orange yours green:

dude thats wicked sick . cheers for the info

il do that for the rear 2 tyres ; theyre mismatching , and this is a perfect excuse to get them changed would 235 30 be ok for a 20' rim tho ? or would 235 35 be safer ?

No probs man.

Don't quote me on this- but with previous AWD cars of other makes I've had in the past they generally recommend the tyre size to be the same or within a certain acceptable range all around otherwise it could cause wear or damage to certain components of the AWD system.

This was the case with a Mitsubishi GTO I had, people do run a staggered setup but the circumference of the tyre and wheel has to be within a specific range or the centre differential/VCU dies.

I'm not sure if the VW Haldex system is picky with sizes in the same case however

I think you may have to go a 30 profile on the 20" wheels to get some extra clearance, let us know if it alters the bumpiness of the ride by much if you go down the path lol

car got lowered today ! got the tyres changed to 235 35 just before i got it lowered . thank god i did that + roll the guards on the weekend , because the rears scrub over bumps nonetheless ! driver rear guard has had some paint cracking on the rear lip s p ewwinnn .

on a side note tho - i am absolutely lovin the look ! rear fitment is TIGHT ! need some camber dialed in so that the guard doesnt keep scrubbing the tyre , but apparentally its hard to get to the camber adjustor on 4motion sedans .. anybody have recommendations for any specialists in sydney ?

pics below - il try do a before and after a bit later !

That looks fantastic. Need to install my H&R springs after getting them nearly a year ago.
