Re: WHEEL HUB CONVERSION
Umm what car? It kind of matters which car as the B3, CQ, and B4 cars are all a little different.
The easiest but some what most expensive is S2 hubs and rotors all the way around..
Deephouse, B5 Audi A4/S4 rear hubs work as long as you use B5 rear brakes.

Ahh
Didn't see that, could have sworn I looked too..
My suggestion would be 92-94 S4 front hubs, new wheel bearings, and a 5mm hub centric spacer between the rotor and hub. Then get the stock rotors redrilled for the 5 lug pattern. Out back use a set of A4/S4 B5 hubs, rotors, calipers, and brackets. I found a set of S4 rear brakes that worked excellent and gave me a larger vented setup.
FYI S2 hubs are about 600 all the way around, add bearing for 200 and then brake rotors up front are in the 250 range. I did my conversion for just under 500.
Here is the link to my conversion. You may need to sign up to see the pics.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tdif.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1525">http://www.tdif.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1525</a</li></ul>

spacers
you can get spacers and longer bolts/studs here. I'd recommend studds as it is soooo easy to mount wheels compared to oem!<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/HR/appguides/app_search.cgi?make=Audi&qt=spacers&model= A4%2C+A4+Avant%2C+A4+Avant+Quattro%2C+A4+Quattro%2 C+S4%2C+S4+Avant&submit=Search%21">http://www.ecstuning.com/HR/appguides/app_search.cgi?mak
