RS5 calipers and stock 18"/19" fitment

[itr325]

I figured I would post this because I searched high and low for a simple yes or no and couldn't find it. I have a 2011 S4 and just completed the RS5 front brake upgrade(356mm).

On my stock 19" peelers offset 43 with a 10mm spacer they fit with a decent amount of room. They might even fit without a spacer, that i did not try only because the template from ECS didn't fit. That template is not exact, it's ballpark at best from my experience.

The stock 18" wheels(not sure what they are called) with offset 47 and a 12.5mm spacer they fit...it's tight, but they fit.

Hope this helps.

Just out of curiosity, where did you get the RS5 calipers?

From a fellow AZ member. Snagged them for a nice price. They are worthwhile upgrade. The overall increase in size of the calipers alone dissipate heat so much better, and going from a single piston floating caliper to an 8 piston fixed setup, the weak point is now the tires!

Yeah, I’ve basically made up my mind that this is the BBK route I want to take. Looks great!

Yea, it's the way to go if you want the stock look. One thing I would caution against is buying a ceramic pad compound, the initial cold bit is horrible, then they heat up and grab. The OEM RS5 Brembo pads are nice, the Hawk DTC-60s are an awesome for street and track.

This is exactly what I'm looking for. Did you do both front and rears or just front?

Just posted...not a bad price, they look like they've got a few more miles on them. I got my set new for $2200. I just did the fronts.

They fit behind a 8mm spacer as well on stock 19’s..154832

I have stock(S4) 19 inch peelers, here's hoping the RS5 brakes fit! Otherwise I'm looking at new wheels.

I have stock peelers with a 10mm spacer and they fit no prob. They may even fit without a spacer.

Any pointers on how to use this thing, I mean it looks straight forward but I want to be sure.

Thanks,

Zach.

Print it out 1:1 and glue it to a piece of thin cardboard. Cut it out and place the in the wheel from the back side. The bottom should fit inside the center bore of the wheel.
