I've recently just purchased a set of Audi TT Speedline Wheels which are 18" x 9J ET52 with 245/40/18 Dunlop tyres. After installing them on my 2006 Audi A3 Sportback 1.9 TDI I've noticed that the wheels scrub while turning. What can I do to solve the problem without changing the wheels as they do look amazing on the car! its really annoying considering its my daily driver.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am a newbie!

Will upload pics soon!

Thanks

The rear is easy enough as you can add a bit of camber to eliminate any issues there.

Front is much more difficult as the camber adjustment is minimal and I had to resort to adjustable top mounts to get around this.



 
Go down to a 235/40/18 or 224/40/18 tyre and remove the arch screw on the rear.
 
Wow. Glad you put up those pics. Have been looking at those wheels for som time.
Really like the OEM and concave look.
Do you have a part no.?
How is the clearance for BBK?
 
Did you have to use spaces to get them to fit? I have a 2007 A3 8P and they won't just go on, the back of them touch the shock absorbers?? Any info would be muchly appreciated, thanks.
