I've had a reply from Damian and he says the 8mm are hubcentric but not listed for the RS3.
I need to measure the hub lip and let him know to see if the 8mm will fit.
If anyone's got a wheel off their RS3 would you please measure the depth of the hub lip

Want to try the 8mm on the front and rear before I commit to buying more.
If these don't fit I can send them back which is good

Not yet mate been pouring most of the day
They also fit the rear too, I haven't ordered more yet as it kind of looks like it has the optional wider fronts fitted.
Pics to follow

Did you test fit a rim as the lip looks different to the ones I had, they were straight, the 8mm tapers down, just make sure it all works if you haven't already mate πŸ‘

Test fitted to the inside of the wheel and it locates perfectly.
Fits 100% flat against the hub and torques up with the new longer bolts supplied.
Done 15 miles at all different speeds with no wobble or vibration.

Thanks Sean, really enjoying the car now.
I'd go as far to say it's now the best car I've ever owned!
You guessed it she's No1

Given you can get 8-10mm on both front and rear it is tempting to go 8.5Jx19 OEM rotors both front and rear

Might do what I did with my Sportecs, get 8.5Jx19 ET43 OEM wheels and have then reprofiled to ET45 which works / fits.
