Default Will a8 sports fit an s8 please??

Hi collective,

2002 Audi s8 D2 -

Will the a8 7 spoke 'sport' rims clear the Brembos on the s8 please?

Any direct experience? Looking for a winter option...

Thanks as always

I believe they will with spacers, but not without. I may be wrong and have no personal experience, however!

Definitely require spacers Paul, I had S8 Brembos fitted to my D2 and needed 15mm spacers to be able to put those wheels back on after the FE wheels were removed

The 18" Avus wheels fit straight on (and look better IMHO). They were original fitting on earlier S8s. That's what I have for winter wheels.
