10mm spacers seem to be the norm (somewhat conflicting info in archive stating 5mm a must, 10mm a must, or not needed). I have stock brakes and am planning to go with 10mm spacers for looks and for prepping for future possible brake upgrades.

235/40/18 tires look to be common choice for these and should not have any issues in terms of fit.

Sound right?

Now for the really stupid question: do spacers just go up front or in rear, too?

TIA,

AFAIK they bolt right up without spacers.

I think so too, but they're going to be tucked *way* inside the fenders without spacers.

...I have 15mm spacers from use my stock 17" OEM Avus wheels, so I'm going to try those first. 12mm spacers seems to have been popular with the S8's from the few posts I've seen in the archives, so I'm hoping the extra 3mm won't push them out too far. If they do, I guess I'll have to reconsider what to do.

But I'm sure you'll be fine with 10mm spacers, that's probably a good way to go.

Unless somebody who has had S8 wheels can comment?

how about the stupid question: need 'em on all 4 or just the fronts? (assuming all 4)

fairenough

IMHO, run spacers on all four wheels.

My 15mm spacers are MTM, but near as I can tell they don't maek 12mm.
