The wheel looks like the Sport tuning Glide. Unfortunately we do not sell spacers, sorry. I might still be able to help determine the spacer size needed though. What is the offset (ET) on the wheel? Is this going to be mounted on your 08RS4?

Default Hi Gary, I am not sure what the offset is... I did confirm that the wheel is a 18X8

sport tuning Glide. Is there any way you can look up the offset? I was going to get the H&amp;R 15mm spacers but I would like to get your recommendation. Thanks again.

Since this wheel was available in different offsets, I am unable to tell which offset it is. We'll need to confirm that offset number, sorry.

There is too deep of a drop center on that wheel to clear the top of the caliper. No amount of spacer will work (that would allow the wheel to fit on the car...we're talking like 60-70mm would be needed).

Default are you sure? tho only place it touched was the outer top corner of the caliper...

I was actually able to turn the wheel.I was thinking i would be able to get away with a 3mm spacer.

Hmmm... This information was given to me directly from our fitment guys based on CAD drawings of the wheel and brake package. I've reconfirmed with them and this was the best information I can acquire. I'm sorry that I couldn't be of more help on this one.
