Need help: Aloy lfittment with B7 RS4 Discs & RS6 Callip

[ZeroK66]

Let me re-phrase that... on my car for some reason it appears they wont. I have got et50 wheels with spacers which may have a slightly different setup for some reason.

I got B6 S4 et35 18" wheels - the B7 RS4 discs and RS6 calipers fit with 3mm spacers

GrimReaper - Do you know if these reps youre using clear the RS4 B7 calipers on an 18 inch wheels? I think they supply offset ET35 on those wheels. Jut wondering if the spoke shape will clear the calipers on an 18 wheel? Also are they exactly the same as the RS4 wheel. Ive noticed some wheels, the spokes go in towards the centre more than others.

I can't give you definate yes i'm affraid as im running Cayenne set up on mine although mine clear with about a 4mm clearance i dont think there is a lot in width between the 2 calipers but like i said can't say for sure. There has got to be someone on here that fitted that set up though as the B7's are getting more popular. As for being exactly the dame i'm sure someone posted on here before about slight differences in spoke clearance but mine gave me no trouble

Grim - Thanks for the info. Did you paint your calipers red from silver?

S4tan - Did you use mounting brackets for the calipers? Have you got any pics of your car with the wheels. Thanks mate.

Phillip - They do look nice on the car on second thoughts. Have you got a pic of them on the car it self? Id like to see what they look like when on the car as a whole.

Also do you have pics of the super leggera Phillip? (Will be calling you tomorrow mate)

Do they sclear the calipers well or is it very very close?

Thanks

Well from PW's picc's you can fit not just the rizla paper between the caliper/spokes ... but the whole packet ....

Leon.... yr wheels probably have deeper spokes/centre vanes due to them being et50.... was at MRC today, very tight ... well locked actually ...
get them fattys on the front .. brackets to complete the conversion ... should set it back nicely ....
Happy Days then ......

Saf - no mounting brackets (could be wrong but if Doug reads this he can confirm for sure) - pics are in another thread from a while ago - just back from big big drink so too pissed to find them at the mo mate - sorry. PM me and i'll send you pics when i'm sober if you want ...

Correct - no mounting brackets needed with the RS4 B7 front brake setup - they bolt straight on

RS6/RS6+ need a modified mounting bracket.

Note that PW's are 18's not 19's like Leon's

Yeah, as they looked a bit boring in silver as mine were the 18" wheel version i think the 19" version comes red as standard. Just selected a high gloss red in 2pk topcoat which came out glossy so no need to add lacquer which i was worried would chip and peel off under excessive heat. Although due to new law that paint will be illegal soon got to use crappy water based stuff. Then i added high temp decals, custom made from bloke off ebay. They certainly get some attention when i go to shows

Grim - where did you get your wheels from?

Thanks

Would a wheel with offset less than ET 35 say ET 30 give better clearence? At what point do they stick out too much though? I know Et 25 does
