[Es2] 5 X 112 hubs for '90 coupe quattro

[Miller, Chris]

I've quickly bench fit a set of RS2 brackets, 996 Carrera calipers, and euro A8 30mm thick by ? 314mm diameter rotors, using S2 front hubs.  Basically system 3 by Bira, with a factory bracket.  Might need one small shim to center the caliper.  Hope to do this conversion this spring, once the snows are off the car.  Should fit in my urS4 5-spoke wheels (16").  That (and wheels) was my main reason to switch to S2 hubs.  The guys on the euro S2 forums are doing this too.

Jimmy, could you clarify this more systematically, specifically:
1) Are you saying urS4 hubs will mount to CQ hub carriers?  
2) or are you saying this is an entire conversion: you need the urS4 hub
carriers, brake parts etc?
3) What are the offset differences, eg the CQ results in a wheel offset
of 37mm; what is the urS4 offset?
4) If the urS4 hub does mount to the CQ carrier, and you retain the S2
rear hubs, won't you need front wheels with a different offset than the
rears?

I can't remember the specifics of 6-7 year old debates, but I thought
the consensus was long since established that this swap didn't make
sense?  It used to be an issue of availability, but with so many euro
parts resources I assume S2 hubs are no more expensive than urS hubs.
WRT brake upgrade cost, I guess maximizing options is a good thing, but
the bira route at least is no more expensive for an S2 than any other
Audi.
