I did think so to, as the 2 damaged wheels are getting collected I spoke to the supplier and said they may as well take the 4 as I don’t think they will fit and they just said he will find a solution over the weekend and get it sorted for me.
I didn’t even ask for a refund I just said I’d change them for another brand they have in stock
Please excuse my ignorance, but would 20” alloys not give you more clearance with calipers? Appreciate you would then need new tyres

20’s I don’t think will fit without rubbing. Certainly not on the rears anyway.
The FFR1 alloys ET37 at the front do fit...

The more I think about this situation the more ****** off I get. First because ive got scabby looking callipers and 2. Ill now not get my wheels fitted till I return from offshore in 3 weeks!!
I really am not wanting 21mm poke on the front. Even if it did just fit it now means I cant ever lower my car when I have always planned on getting MSS spring kit. Im now not wanting them to say well just try it and see because one, im not wanting anymore damage than whats already been caused and 2. Once I come home in 3 weeks time and try fit them if it doesn't fit or looks ***** ill then again need to wait anout 7 or 8 days for new wheels to come again.
The FFR1 look so good on @drgav2005 so think ill just change to them.
Ive just tried to call them and arrange for them to pick up the other 2 wheels [as 2 damaged ones got collected today] but the boy who is dealing with me wont be back in till Monday....GREAT
Another thing I've noticed is on there website they only have ET42. So no doubt they will make me put the 5mm spacers on front again. It would be better if they could just give me the ET37 [same as @drgav2005].
Many thanks Billy,
So sorry you have had so much hassle on the wheels and the damage to your calipers. I would definitely hold out for them to supply the ET37 on the fronts - I'm pretty sure they weren't on their website when I spoke to them, they just offered me them directly when I was discussing the various options.
where did you order your rims from?

Hi Gav,
How did you get on with fitting the TPMS ? As I’m going to lower my car do you think I’d be able to fit 245 on the rear without causing any rubbing
What wheels you running negI'm running 245 all round on 20's - also with the MSS kit.

Can you get 255’s all round?Yep should be fine... even if lowered .... but your a saloon right.... so you may be able to get away with more
Any pictures?
Billy.... why are they quoting for the RS3 Saloon.... when you have a Sportback!
Could this have been the issue as the saloon has different offsets to the Sportback
