    Boxster Brakes + Wheels clearance?

    Anyone running these brakes? I am curious about the clearance. I know the b5s dont need any spacers to run S4 OEM wheels with this setup. Does the B6 have the same clearance as the B5 with these brakes, or do I need to get some spacers?

    I am not familiar with Boxster brakes, but I know that Audi B7 fronts need at least ET45 to fit. I just judging this by my recent B7 front upgrade where I tested the following:
    - Audi 17" five double-spokes (the standard 17" B7 wheel) with ET45: barely clear the B7A4 caliper.
    - OEM B6 18" USP wheels with ET48: clear them fine.
    - 16" B6 winter steel wheels: will not clear the caliper and require spacers.

    Pleas note that the regular B7 A4 front calipers are wider than B6 S4 calipers, so if the Boxster calipers have a profile similar to B6S4 calipers, you may get away with less clearance.
    Current: 2016 Audi A4 Allroad (in progress)
    Past: 2005 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro Avant / 6-speed / Ultrasport - SOLD

    I will have to test fit and order spacers if necessary. I was already planning on spacers, now this may force my hand... no biggie lol!
