oz wheel clearance?

[LUKAS(awd4eva)]

sup guys, just bought the oz chronos used for 300 with tires it was a steal. They are 18's, but the problem is i got the back on but the front wont clear my brakes. The original owner had them on a a4, but i now just found out that the S brakes are bigger. This is what i have http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/1...w_wheels_1.jpg
so my question is what mm spacers do i need to get them to clear.

what size is your offset on the wheels? I think stock is 35. I'm not positive though, correct me if im wrong.

my offset on these rims is 40, if you can please help me choose the right mm spacer.

i'm going to go out on a limb and say you need at least 5mm spacers, might want to look into longer studs if you go any bigger. ecs is your friend on this one

Nice set of wheels, hope you get your answer

The offset of the stock wheels is 45mm. You're only losing 1mm of clearance on the inside by making the change (according to http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp). So I guess you should be able to go with any spacer really. I think the smallest they make on ECS is 2mm.

But wait for someone to confirm before you make a purchase. I don't have much wheel fitting experience. I'm just trying to do some research for you. Awesome deal on a nice set of wheels.

If you only need a very small amount of clearance you could grind your caliper down a bit if you didn't want to spend the money on spacers.
