You do have a little bit more space between the inner rim face than I had with my Rial 18" alloys.
Roast you Alex, never.....I salute you Sir for not giving up on the project.
I'd try and get away with less on the fronts if you can Alex, maybe 8mm spacer as from that pic angle you have the space .
good work .
Got 5 mins spare today to test fit the 15mm spacers and the brembos. 15mm looks great on the rear and shouldn't pose any ribbing issues, the fronts however will need around 10-12mm to aviod rubbing yet still cover the new calipers. Bare with me @I'm Just Rob. And @Ricky Burrows im getting there, very slowwwwly! Lol

And before anyone roast me, yes i know the discs are on backwards and the calipers upside down, this is purely a trial fit...

Thats also on the list too Rob in the new year. The old girl needs some love, its just getting the time at the minuteI think that alloy needs a bit of a refurb too Alex..lol
There the B8 S4 ones, fitment is great and uses the oem assembly screw fitment.What disc's did you settle for in the end Alex?
There the B8 S4 ones, fitment is great and uses the oem assembly screw fitment.
The offset seems good too as the disc sits pretty central in the caliper. Also drilled and vented as in the pic
I did say the S4 ones would be a good choice as they are just fit and go unlike the AMG's that need a bit of fiddling .

You car is lowered isn't it?
I have to warn you 15mm spacers look great on the rear, until you put weight in the boot, then you get occasional rubbing issues over bumps.
I learnt the hard way.

Cheers fella, and yes i think thats still the plan. I toyed with the idea of red but i think the grey will be a nice oem+ touch. Ive found a company near me that does custom caliper paints in metallics and pearls and its really good stuff tooAyyy looking good mate, you decided on a colour yet if i remember right you was liking the silver/grey from the ceramics right? is that still the plan?
Yeah for the look your going for id go with a nice bright silver with black rs stickers, either way i think they will stand out just enough in silver or grey to know there sat behind there but still give you a nice oem+ look, looking forward to seeing it when its all buttoned upCheers fella, and yes i think thats still the plan.

I don't like red with Brembo stickers they look like the caliper covers you can get for a tenner lolRed on Red I'm afraid chaps, other colours are nice but big B's and red were made to go together, just my opinion.

Ive got some in the basket now lolyou can see they are covers from 100 yards away Ricky, well i can ..lol , and the covers come in all colour aswell and still look ultra tacky whatever colour decals they have.

or both..lolDAMN!!!!! That looks good. And clean enough to eat your dinner off! Or maybe lick your fingers...........
It's always nice when one passes.My old bus sailed through its MOT today, only advised on both front tyres being close on the inner edges, so will be getting a nice new pair of pilot sport 4's ordered after Christmas. Along with everything else on the parts list!

My last mot cost me best part of £1000 so if i did have ocd id be ruined by now lolIt is Rob definitely. Just wish I'd have done it in July like it should have been, but of course had the extension, just upsets my OCD! Lol

Every vehicle i buy is a bad one lolYou haven't had much look with your motor have you Ricky! Maybe you got one of the bad ones, lol
I replaced the snub nose mount for a poly bushed yellow powerflex... it made the ride much firmer, which for spirited driving is super, but everyday comfort is impacted.
So I think I’ll be going OEM for the others.
