You'll be ~1/2" further outboard than this 20x9 ET39.
I don't rub at all, but another 1/2" looks like it's asking for trouble.

The stress bar in front of the master cylinder is needed.
It's standard on the S8/A8L but can be added to the A8. I don't believe it makes any difference whether the car is a pre-facelift or not.

You're right about the S8 ... A8, A8L, and S8 are all different.
A8 ....... 312/245
A8L ...... 323/269
S8 ....... 345/280
My S8 .. 355/298 :-)

Re: pad selection vs brake bias
You're right; you will have too much rear bias with the same pads front and rear. Ideally you should be aiming for something like a 2.4:1 brake bias (71% front); and if you're overheating the front...

Stay away from drilled rotors if you ever might track your car.
They're fine on the street, but under extreme heat on track, the results are often not pretty.

A8(L) is the long wheel base.
Both the A8 and S8 have the short wheel base, but it's really not that short. To me the A8L seems a bit too long, though I probably wouldn't feel that way if I owned an A8L for eight years :-)
