  • S8 18" D2 alloys - fitting to S6, what spacers and bore are needed please?

    From what i've read its 15mm spacers i need on the front axle but what size bore so it fits the S8 alloy and do i need extra long bolts? What are you chaps using regards a good make? Thanks.

    You need 15mm hubcentric spacers for Audi/VW.
    Bore and spigot are the same size.
    Your bolts should be 25mm over standard and with OEM curved profile.

    I’ve only ever had the S8s on an S2. Are you sure it’s 15mm for S8s on an S6?
    Having said that my S6 Avus fit the S2 fine without spacers, although I added 10mm at the back just because it looks better.

      Loads on eBay, anodised are best for corrosion resistance. Some sellers supply the longer bolts with the spacers.

        Thanks John, i could be wrong about 15mm but it seams to stick for some reason from posts years ago. The S8's only touch when turning the front wheels on the S6.These look ok at 12mm but will they fit as they have a bore of 57.7?

          I have a set of four 15mm spacers here, I believe I used with a set of RXs on the Coupe, I just measured one and it's 57mm (57.1) ID and OD
          Not sure where you saw 57.7 your listing says 57.1
