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

Default Well, just talked to them over the phone and it seems that they had problems fitting these...

on the HP2s in the 35mm version. But they said they have not had any sales on these for A6 2.7T with the 30mm offset and the guy offered to me to be a ginny pig and if I have problems to return them on their cost. Hm, I might go for that.
By the way that is why I am looking for new wheels because the fat 5-spoke OEM ones I have need 15mm spacers to clear the HP2s that I installed recently. And the B5 S4 OEM wheels clear these brakes event though they have the same 45mm offset.
Thanks anyways!

Default Thanks! That is what I wanted to see. Yours is 2000 you should have the HP2s.

How many pads do you have per caliper at the front?

Yep, you have HP2s. And these wheels are with 30mm offset right?

Default Btw, did you use your stock bolts or you bought new ones for these wheels?

Some aftermarket wheels require different type of bolts such as ball seat ones.
