Title: Audi TTRS brakes
Post by: A1SGP on September 06, 2014, 10:18:02 pm: Can anybody tell me if the TTRS brakes will fit 18" wheels , or have you got to have 19"s . And to anybody that has them what do you think of them ?

Doubt it.

Post by: dansmith180 on October 17, 2014, 02:39:08 pm: The clearance is the same for the R32 and TTRS discs as the bracket is just an new carrier that moves the calipers closer into the disc. As for a review, they're f*cking awesome, I run them with drilled and grooved TTS discs (lighter than R32 ones) and Brembo sport pads and they stop hard time and time again I would highly recommend them.

Post by: TommyR on October 17, 2014, 05:10:04 pm: For an OEM wheel i.e ET51 and 7.5j on a 340/345mm disc you need a 12mm spacer. :happy2:

Assuming they're 8j then a 5mm spacer should be plenty, my wheels are 8j et45 and they clear by about 1mm or so and they have actually touched at some point :sick:
