    rs6 front callipers help

    hello guys,
    im hoping to buy will20's rs6 brake upgrade but am unsure wether i can make it work with my new wheels, i have bbs 18x8.5j with et32 (not yet fitted), i think im gonna be pushing it already as far as arches and rubbing go and expect i would have to put maybe 25mm spacers in additionally to clear the calliper
    anyone who's had similar issues please share what you've found or gimme suggestions to wether this will work, im not afraid of getting rolled arches but i dont want to have any metal cut off.
    many thanks

    Don't think you'd have a problem with et32
    Check the thread of s2avant s2bo and Terrybullwon one sure they all ran similar et or spacers and higher et alloys

        ET32 on an 8.5J rim will be fine. I run ET35 with 3mm spacers and 245s without any arch issues at all.
        Don't see that you'd need to run any spacers to clear the caliper?
