Will the VWR BBK fit the OEM S3 wheel?

Will the VWR BBK fit the OEM S3 wheel? The OEM 8P 2011 wheel specs are 18x7.5 et51. Would the VWR BBK fit without spacers?

As far as I can remember yes as the VWR bellhousing acts as a 10mm spacer and the caliber just clears the rims.

I would add that there are probably better kits to be had now.

Mine is a hybrid of a VWR kit with AP rotors.

Yeah I remember you mentioning that, but a lightly used set of VWR BBK turned up locally and the price seems good so I'm thinking I'll go for this if they will fit under my OEM Wheels.

The VWR BBK is nice. They have just released a new caliper.
The problem for me is tat the kit has no TüV approval. Might be good to know.

In that case,my comments would only apply to the older kit,which is good,and if it's at the right price,a good choice,but if not,look around a bit.

Alex. I do not doubt the quality on there kit. I really like the looks and I think the performance will work for many track day/fast road drivers
Even the old kit had no TüV approval. This I think have to be in place to be able to sell more of it...
