Default ecs spacers fit titanium rims?

I'd like to bump out the wheels a touch to get a better stance and purchased the ecs spacer kit, 8mm front and 12mm rear, which is made for the peeler wheels. Has anyone used these successfully on the titanium rims? I misread the description and thought it was for all audi stock wheels. It would make sense that the back side of the stock rims would be the same across the board but they may come from different suppliers. Might be smart to just return for a different set of spacers. anybody have the ecs set paired to the titanium wheel? Thanks

They should bolt up just fine. The 19in Peelers have the same offset as the Ti wheels.

That's the biggest concern for fitment unless the center bore and bolt pattern are different which wouldn't be because they are both OEM Audi wheels.

Default update

Got back from the Thanksgiving holidays and had time to install the spacers. Visually they mate up well to the back side of the titanium wheels. The quality of these spacers are quite nice as well. I tightened the bolts to 105 lb as recommended on these forums and everything fits nicely. I got a slight vibration after driving 30 miles so I went back and re tightened all the bolts...two bolts on one of the rear wheels needed a half turn to tighten and the vibration is gone. The kit seems to fit well.
