S2 front hub vs. S6 front hub

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/25442/s2_hub_vs._s6_hub.jpg"></center><p>As you can tell by the picture, the S6 hub is shorter than the S2 hub. This would move the geometry of the hub inboard and may foul the hub carrier. Now if it did not foul the hub carrier, you could use this hub. You would have to shim the caliper carrier inboard to compensate for the difference. This may be doable.

I don't know, just some thoughts and a picture.

Re: S2 front hub vs. S6 front hub

or, what about running a spacer, then the rotor, then the wheel?

Nah...Just a different offset. They both use 82mm wheel bearings.
