Default Will these fit my 2.7T with the HP2 calipers?

or will I need spacers?

They're 35mm offset.

Thanks,

Mark

did you note that it states "not for 2.7T or 4.2"?

Default If he explicitly states that they won't fit our cars, it usually means a caliper clearance issue...

I wouldn't risk it. Spacers might help, but again, why risk it?

Default I love this statement......

THESE WHEELS ARE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ONE PIECE REPRODUCTIONS OF THE NEW 2-PIECE WHEELS

Translation - cheap knock-off fake copies that look similar to the original in that they approximate being somewhat round before they are mounted.....

Can anyone recommend wheels that do fit? You have the 4.2 wheels, do they fit over the HP2 calipers?

Default Yep, they'll fit...

As far as finding wheels that fit, they are out there. Your best bet is to use sites like the Tirerack that have car configurators that will tell you which wheels fit your vehicle. You can also dig through people's signatures and picture poster accounts to see what others are using, etc...

Good luck,
