wheel size to take brembo's please..

[Phillc]

I test fitted my brembo's today and the bloody wheel hits the caliper, they are the RS4 18's i thought they would be ok, i should have known better, i don't really want to put spacers on, so can some one tell me the wheel size (off set ?) i need to fit the Brembo's, i really wanted them on for next weekend

Or if you have changed your "R" alloys what did you replace them with?

ET is not all, depends on the rim design, I thought my project zwo 18" 8,5" would clear of my new brembo, but they did NOT.

My 17" 7,5" cupra's did...which shocked me... LOL

why don't you want to put spacers on?

After looking last week i am surprised they dont fit under your wheels, there looked to be more room under yours than mine.
How close is it?
Could you not just put some spacers on as a temporary measure

what offset were your rims?

there is a sticky post in badger5 section about wheels + brembos

Not sure of the offset on the wheels they are the RS4 reps thought they would be the same as the originals with a ET30. It is quite a lot off i would have thought 6-10mm.

the reason i didn't want spacers is that i dont want the wheels to be right on the edge of the arch, also i will have to put the spacers on the back as well, easier to buy new wheels i know will fit (depending on cost)

Another reason why i dont want spacers thanks Robdon.

Quote= (RS4 reps) The problem is that these wheels are ET30 and sit almost flush with the arches, spacers will take them outside the arch which looks stupid and would cause rubbing, a 10mm spacer would make my wheels more like ET20!=Quote

looking at the figures do you think will these fit, they are advertizing them for the Cupra R, i have emailed them for conformation but as of now i have not had a reply.
