Default Do 18" Rims fit on a 2017 TTS? (brake clearance)

Does anyone know if 18" rims will fit on a TTS?

Is there enough clearance around the brakes to drop for the stock 19" to 18"?

I'm just about ready to order 18" winter rims for my TTS which is due to arrive at the end of September but I just want to make sure I won't have an issue.


Thanks,

My 18" Rial DH winter wheels fit fine on my TTS. Used all last Winter.

In Germany 18" Wheels are actually standard on the TTS, so 18" Wheels will fit.
You can even go down to 17" Wheels.

Audi - Winterwheels

Information I have is that factory 18" Wheels are 8.5x18 ET50 with a centerbore of 57.1 mm.

Good reference here:
Wheel-Size.com :: Reference guide for car wheel and tire dimensions such as size, offset, PCD

Ya, I used that wheel-size.com tire calculator to make sure the winter tires & offest were okay, it just said to check that the brakes don't rub. It's a pretty good site!

But I didn't even look at the European model to see that it goes all the way down to 17"! Had I seen that it would have answered my question. Thanks for pointing that out.

The only thing you will have to worry about is caliper clearance with the spokes.
