Shit.
The 2000 Audi A6 2.7T, 16x7 ET45, 5 spoke wheel that's listed as fitting
System 1 does *not* fit over System 3.
Shit.
The outer edge of the caliper just barely makes contact with the outer part
of the rim. It looks like a 2.5mm spacer would move the wheel far enough
away from the caliper so that it would clear.
So now I have to make a decision...do I look for *another* set of wheels
that clear the calipers, or do I run a pair of spacers. My UPS guy is
getting tired of shipping wheels back and forth!
Here's a couple of items for the Bira.org website:
- wheels that fit over System 1 will not necessarily fit over System 3
- wheels that fit over the brakes on a 2.7T will not necessarily fit over
System 3
<sigh> I really didn't want to use spacers.
