Default Spacers anyone?

Went to mount my B7 S4 OEMs for summer and f+ck they didn't clear the front brakes. STFA and assumed all was good before purchase. Anyway I need at least a 5mm spacer on the front. I assume run them on the rear to keep tracking aligned even though they fit fine? Any other issues with spacers I should be concerned with?

It's been posted that the B6/B7 Avus wheels need spacers when used on a B5 S4

3mm will do it up front. I'd use some in the rear just to make it look right.

Default 3mm? These are the RS6 style to be clear.

Just wanted to make sure. I like this look (see link) and I live in a mountain town (potholes/cleaning issues) or I would of gone more traditional 18" aftermarket.<ul><li><a href="http://www.swisscarsightings.com/audi/Audi%20RS6%20053.jpg">http://www.swisscarsightings.com/audi/Audi%20RS6%20053.jpg</a</li></ul>

Talk to Bill at Hartmann - About 90 bucks shipped for the stuff you and I need.
