Thanks
@KieranS3 &
@mechanic69. The reason I ask is because I have sourced a set of 18's that fit over the RS3 8v 8pot brakes but the wheel needs a 9mm spacer to clear the spokes and at this point the wheels will stick too far out the arch. So I had the idea of potentially buying and fitting the rs3 8p discs which sit further in by 10mm than the ttrs discs which I have double checked by finally finding the offset info online. With it sitting 10mm further in surely I can get custom caliper brackets made up to sit the caliper 10mm further in to match thus leaving me with enough clearance to run the wheel without any spacers allowing the wheel to stay inside the arch. Only possible issue is whether the disc will hit the ball joint under the strut arm. In a perfect world I'd need to find the man (or woman) who initially test fitted the rs3 discs and informed everyone that they needed ttrs discs instead because he or she will be able to tell me if the rs3 disc touched the ball joint or any other workings for that matter. I know there are easier ways to fit brakes without having to go through all that trouble but I'm determined to get it all working the way it's planned out in my head because I've been very meticulous as to what I do and don't want on the car e.g. (no 19s, no non-oem wheels, no arch rolling etc) so I must find a way to work with the parts I've got.
@KieranS3 I know this is a throw in the dark question but do you know/remember at all how much clearance there was/is between your ttrs discs and your ball joint? Need whatever info I can get as I'm planning quite an extensive build thread so watch this space
