17" Mk1 Audi TT Competition polished wheels - offset needed

[unclefester]

Good evening!

I'm looking for some information on the offset of these wheels. I'm currently having to use 10mm spacers on the front of mine to get some RS6 replicas to clear the Boxster calipers i've got fitted. I'm using 312mm discs so that clearance shouldn't be an issue.

I know that the Audi 17" TT Competition wheels clear the Brembo brakes fitted to an LCR - what i'm trying to work out is whether they'll clear mine. The current wheels have a 35mm offset.

So that's it - nothing too complicated, i'd did a quick search but the search didn't return the info.



Those are the wheels i'm referring to, the golf is running Porsche 993 calipers.



Those are the wheels i'm currently using.



Those are the brakes that are fitted - they're Boxster NON S calipers mounted to the car using a Neuspeed carrier kit.



That's the car they'll be going on.

Any information you can throw this way would be very much appreciated.

Patrick.

Ok after a bit of digging i found this. From what I understand that means mine SHOULD fit without the need for spacers.
