Does anybody run 5-spoke RS6 reps on a 2.7t with HP2 brakes? What is the offset on the wheels?

Default The offset needs to be under 33
I have 33 and it is very close to the caliper, but it won't rub at all

Default It states in the description:
Will not fit if you have the Brembo or large brake package, Allroad or A6 2.7t. and S6 2002 Avant.

Default I bought 18's from that vendor...
Very happy with the purchase. Best bang for the buck and the quality is just fine. I just maintain them with a couple of coats of wax every other month and avoid cleaning with harsh chemicals. Mine still look new after 2 years. I don't see why people would pay double for Hartmann rep wheels. Who know the could be selling the same wheel!!!

I don't see why it wouldn't work. You'd need atleast 18's for Brembo's to clear

That is why I am confused, the offset and diameter look ok. Why wouldn't fit on the listed models?!?

Default shape and thickness of spokes are the other "important" variable...
...not all wheels are the same, even if they look the same on the outside.
