don't think that will fit...doesn't look as if it will go over brake calipers?

The specs for that one (and others I found with the same part number but without the 03C part) are:
3.5J x 18
ET25.5
5x112
125/70/18 Continetal tyre

maybe but that is a 19 inch wheel but still a 125/70 tyre so will make it a bigger circumference. Not sure that makes a big difference at the slow speed you can use it though.

On all VAG part numbers the final part (when present) after the version letter(s) indicates the colour code. So in this case unless you're anal about the colour of the emergency spare wheel it's not important.

It does, I test fitted it when I got it 4 years ago.

Won't fit on the front if you have ceramics though (but then you can always swap a front and rear full size wheel if you have to).

Same colour with tinted windows. I don't remember if the wheels were standard or not. I just thought of your car when I seen it. Must be another kicking around.

Ok thanks Dave. It looked the right colour, it just didn't state the colour code (and I didn't know that it was a colour code).

Hi, I have an unused space saver available after selling my RS4, part # 8K0 601 027 D, fitted with Continental 125/70R19 tyre, bought from Audi in 2013 & never used (I did test fit it though).

PM me if interested, £100 gets it.

Cheers,

Dave.

I typed out the specs of the part number that Dave gave us that he has confirmed fits the RS4. Look further up the page. Think it was 3.5 inches but this alone won't give the right clearance also need the right offset but I typed that out too.

just thought i'd mention although i'm sure this has been said already, the space savers won't fit over the front brakes so a swap with a rear is needed if you have problem at the front.
