i am posting this here also as i think this is very relevant if you are going to fit aftermarket wheels, or if you are like me fitting new disks and pads after putting the new wheels on.
this obviously doesnt meen every aftermarket wheels
i have 17" aftermarket wheels, the inside edge that buts up to the disk is bigger than the outside edge of the disk.(where the bolts go through, if that makes sense)
therfore now the new disks and pad combo are thicker than the old worn combo the wheels are rubbing on the pads itself.
this is a warning if you are fitting aftermarket wheels.
for example, the standard 15" and the disks where they but up are 5.5", my 17" rs8 reps are 6" in diamiter, leaving a 0.5" overlap that touches the thicker pads.
NOTE.... IF YOUR BUYING AFTERMARKET WHEELS MAKE SURE THIS PART IS THE SAME AS ORIGINAL 5.5" (dont know what this part on the wheel is PCD, OFFSET etc so can someone fill me in on this)
