For one, you won't be getting RS2 hubs for the rear of your quattro without getting a hold of a pair of 80q Avant wheel bearing housings. The RS2 uses 82mm wheel bearings at all four corners (as does the 80q Avant). Your car uses a 75mm bearing in the rear, with the WBH sized accordingly. So, you'll be affecting more than just your brakes (who makes a 276x25mm and 245x10mm rotor in a 5x130 pattern? No one I know of!) with trying to use RS2 hubs. Besides, ever price out Porsche wheels? Way not cheap.

If you want 5-bolt wheels, go with the S2 hubs, S2 rotors, and some 5-bolt wheel from an Audi or Mercedes (same pattern, different offset). "Plug and play"...
