Default What tire size on 9.5" wheels A4 B8

I bought some VMR 710 9.5'' +33 and i'll be lowered with H&R SS springs (-2"),my question is should i go with 255/35/19 or 245/35/19 to be on the safe side for rubbing issues.
Thank's Ben

255 35/19 is the OEM size for the B8 S-line option package , you should be OK even with the new springs.

The 245 35/19 will have a slightly smaller diameter and will have a narrower tread width. If you go to a good tire dealer and mention your concerns they should be able to help you with getting the proper sizing. Good luck!

+33 is pretty aggressive, so I'd try with 245. But tire will be stretch. Also, you might want to max the camber to be safe.

I ordered the same wheels, but +45 and 255. Still waiting for the package, but from what I have read, it should fit perfectly. Some people add a 5mm spacer in the rear to be 100% flush.

Then it should work just fine, even lowered quite a bit.
