FYI, VolK LE37's DO NOT fit over Stoptech calipers
these calipers are on my 332mm Stoptechs (they released the 332mm rotors before their current 355mm setup). The new european car has an article with these wheels fitted over Stoptechs but this is for the 355mm kit, so I was a bit concerned that fitment might be an issue, and sure enough they do not fit. I'm not sure if the size or construction of the two calipers are different or if it's because the caliper sits further back on the 355mm rotor in relation to the 332mm rotor and thus being a difference in clearance due to spoke design.
Oh well, looks like a need a 5mm spacer :-/

Hmmm... I guess APR's version of stoptechs offer more clearance...
certainly something to consider assuming the S4 version has the same clearance as the A4 version.

(truth's 2.8sc with APR level 3 using stoptech-engineered calipers and rotors, no spacers)

5mm should not be a problem if they are hubcentric
It seems as though the only issues with spacers are if they are not hubcentric or larger than 15mm or so... 5-10mm hubcentric like the ones MTM offer should be fine.
