Any help would be much appreciated here!
I have a pair of ttrs disks and a full Rs3 setup. Wheels are bbs chr et45 8.5x19"
From what I can work out il need 5mm spacers? I've read that the tt rs setup will bolt straight on to the s3.. but rs3 will need modification?
 
Calipers are the same, the rs3 discs have a difference offset, TTRS Discs have the part number on them and should start 8J i think. You may need more than a 5mm spacer. There is a guy on here that has done this upgrade and I'm also tempted by it so let us know how you get on.
 
It's going to be scrubbing with much lower offset....dang!
 
If your going to try it i suggest you may need some ability to adjust camber and a slight stretched tyre and you might get it in.
 
Hmmm and they're hanging right out of the arch on that one. I might just go for rs3 wheels and sell on the bbs! Not 100% feeling them on there anyway!
 
Rotors are a tight fit as well mate. Check vagoc.co.uk there is a whole thread dedicated to wheels that fit with that brake upgrade.
