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.
