Wheel options for S3 with TT RS Brakes/Big brake kits

[KieranS3]

Just wondering what wheels are people running with big brake kits? I am currently running the standard facelift S3 alloys with a 12mm spacer and they fit fine over TTRS calipers, but I would like an aftermarket set like OZ's or something.

It's all down to the offset, stock S3 alloys are ET54 which is why you have to run spacers in order to fit a lot of the BBK's under them, especially if using the TTRS setup.

ET45 alloys is what most go for and saves the need for spacers, plus it sits nicely with the arches.

There's a thread on this topic with plenty of info.
Oz ultraleggera 18x8 et45 fit without spacers but it's a really tight fit 2-3mm at best.

That's roughly the gap I have just now. Tighter the better, no?

I guess so. Are we still talking about brake wheel clearance?

Of course
