Default OEM B6 S4 18" 45mm offset direct fit on B5 S4 or are spacers really needed?...>>>
I am not lowered so would like to know if I could get away with a 45mm offset without spacers. STFA and have found that 5mm to 10mm is recommended but do not know if it is required. Why is it needed... to clear the brakes, suspension or body?

Thanks.

Spacers definitely needed to clear calipers, especially with new pads.

So 5mm or 10mm spacers are REQUIRED to clear brakes... if my brakes are used might it work without?
