Default Front Wheel Bearing Size?

I intend to replace a front wheel bearing and went to Napa to make sure they had one in stock. They have 82mm and 75mm OD bearings listed.
Some Audi parts suppliers only list the 82mm bearing for my car, which I assume is correct.

Can anyone verify this? Both bearings have to be ordered so I want to make sure.

I believe that the later 2.8 uses the larger bearing. I don't have any way to confirm at this moment in time though.

At Autohausaz.com the fronts (82mm) are $45.19. Rears (75mm) are $46.13 each.

2.8 uses the larger front wheel bearing. The 2001 A4 1.8t went to the larger wheel bearing too which is also used on the B5 S4.
