Default rear rotors

i got wheels off of another guys a4(98 A4), the rear wont mount up on mine(97 1.8t FWD) because the bearing center hits the wheel, is the AWD rotor different?

is there any option to fix this?

Default HUH? That's not right... the hubs on the front and rear should be the same diameter...

Is it the dust cap which hits the wheel, or the actual lip on the hub that is the problem?

AWD rear rotor is different with FWD. But rim should mount up OK.

Odd. I can't see how they could fit on the front but not the rear.

Default You may have a hub centric ring that smaller than Audi hub. Check to see if ....

there is a ring mounted in the rim hub

But the front should have the same 'ridge'.
