Depends on which wheel you get. A4 wheels range from ET45-ET35. The larger ET's will need spacers up front on 2wd applications. Be careful picking wheels because especially since you are planning on putting on a Big Brake conversion. The typical BB kit has studs instead of bolts. Longer bolts are much cheaper to acquire than proper long studs. It will all depend on whose BB kit you buy. For example some kits go as large as 312mm discs. Those will not fit in the 15" wheels.
