Fitted the ttrs brake kit under the standard facelift s3 18's, it fits but it's a little close and didn't really want to change my wheels ! What wheel options do I have? I don't like pro race 1.2's personally and would rather lose the brakes instead of the wheels.
 
Quite close ... It's got plenty of
Room between the callipers and spokes with the 12mm spacers but the calliper is close to the inside of the wheel.
 
If you want to stick to 18's I know Speedline Turini are light weight and have clearance.

What wheels do you like? BBS CH in 18's ET52 would need a 5mm spacer but again tight to the inside of the wheel.
 
what about oz ultraleggeras?
 
Hmm they are alright .... Again they are multispoke and I'm not a fan tbh. I like my wheels or the rotor wheels
 
i though they have the same number of spokes as the wheels we have on our cars?
to be honest i have upgraded to rs brakes a year ago and the car is on stock wheels and i didn't have any issue. i've driven a lot in the winter conditions on motorways, and didn't have issue with stones and and wheels.
 
Maybe .... But I don't like multispoke wheels. I like the facelift s3 wheels. Did you have theses wheels too ?

it's not a massive problem but it's a tad annoying, this is what it's doing

it's not the calliper touching it's stones getting behind the caliper and scratching the wheels (only slightly)
 
i had a similar problem but it was the calliper touching my 18" rotors OEM.

What did you do with your wheel weights?
 
I've had that issue with wheel weights not stones. Same wheels.
 
i have 19" oettinger wheels which i'm hoping will fit without spacers once i install my ttrs brakes. i'll let you know once fitted in cae you would consider any of the oettinger style and move up to 19's...

The wheel weighs I had moved by a mate at sts. It must be tiny stones as it's not scratching them that deap at all. I wondered if getting the calliper skimmed would help at all ?
