The 9 will. the 8.5 wont.

I received mine this week and test fitted one. They look really good (imo) and there's lots of room for brakes. I'll have tires mounted next week.

17 and 18 x 9 are both perfect for STH.

18x8.5's in black ordered.

Hey Arin - for your wheels, do the black plastic VW lug caps that come with stock VW wheels fit these?

Yes. The satin black.

These look very nice, thoughts on the hub ring? Any vibrations? So, do the black caps fit? Thoughts on quality?

This. I'd love to hear about your impressions of the supplied hub rings.

The hub rings are metal and "snap" in so they are tight. I have no vibration so far. I do think I lost a wheel weight since install yesterday so have to head back to DT to get them to re-balance that one. It happens. The APR center caps are nice and I have ordered some 70mm VW ones off Amazon for $24 to try out to see which I like better. The smaller caps on my stock wheels are too small. All and all, these are very nice for $250 a piece delivered. They weighed in on my scale at ~19 and the diff between that an APR's 18.5 is likely just scale variance. Close enough.

TTRS Brakes - probably not without a spacer. 18x9, yes.

Before I pull the trigger on these, anyone know if the 18x8.5 ET45 wheels will clear Macan calipers?

From what I gather they clear APR's BBK but not the TTRS kit, not sure where width wise the Macan calipers fall in comparison to those.

 

[Arin@APR]

The 18x9's clear the TT RS (8S) calipers, so it will really just depend on their size. If anything, a spacer will do the trick.
