The wheels are standard facelift 18" avus....

Why not?

The RS6 disc is only 365mm so it would fit under 18" rims.
Erm...Thanks for pointing that out. Is there a prize for the most wrong answers on a forum?

Now to back peddle and try and recover a bit of cred (I'm praying this is right )

You can fit up to 390mm front discs on the D2 and these will not fit under 18in rims.

Ian, I bought the rear brakes from that car . I'll get the part numbers for our friend Rallyquattro the next time it's on a ramp.
There is a thread about the brake upgrade for that car on Tyresmoke somewhere which details what has been fitted.
