Default Stoptech 355 not fitting with Volk LE37

I thought everyone got them to fit? I think I'm going to need a 3mm spacer to get this to fit. Did you guys that have it fitting do something special to get it to fit?

Any input quickly is appreciated as we're putting everything back togetther right this second.

Thanks

Does my H&R Ultras have anything to do with changing the fitment?

I think all the 18" LE37s for Audis came with the same offset, they didn't come out with multiple offsets for our fitment...

Right now, it goes on and when I tighten the lug nuts, the wheel gets tight up against the calipers and doesn't want to spin too freely... Is this how it should be?

Default Something's wrong-- the wheel should spin freely, with almost a 1/4" gap...

between the wheel and the caliper.

Did you just install the brakes? Maybe something not right there?

Default GOT IT WORKING!

A few things weren't tightened up when we went to replace the blown H&R and now it fits great with 1/4" (maybe a lil less) gap between caliper and wheel spokes. THANK YOU! If it wasnt for the reassurance, I would have driven all over the place looking for a 3mm spacer tonight.

Thanks again!

One of my customers has that setup. A card fits between spoke & caliper (tightly).
