The wild part to me is that one set came out fine with the pry method. Like, putting on as much pressure as I could given the awkward positioning. The other set broke the second they were looked at.
For the sake of being thorough, and because I dont see them on the confirmed wheel fitment list, my Rays FXZ 18 x8.5 +45 in Face 3 spec, fit with no spacer and plenty of room.
Also can't remember what year Audi RS3 I used when I ordered my first brakes pads, anyone know? I need to order pads lol.

We have a member that used to run those wheels with PP, and they fit with the weight locations you describe with used pads, but he got interference when he put fresh pads in, and had to run spacers.
In my opinion, that means they don't fit without spacers.

When doing a bit of searching prior to my post I believe that person had the 17x7 version of the mr131’s. The pads wouldn’t play a role in my situation. I just wondered how the macan caliper sat compared to the PP caliper. If they extend further from the rotor more than the PP caliper then I can’t use them.

Could anyone confirm for me that using a 2020 caliper is the same as the OP caliper?
Part #'s 95b615106bk & 95b615105bk - to me they look identical or is there variation on the size/fitments over the calipers?

So I am going to ditch my motegi wheels. Gonna grab some APEX wheels that can accommodate BBK. Going the macan kit route instead of a full on BBK for now and maybe forever. Would be looking to send the calipers out for powder coat. What exactly is involved in breaking them down for prep? Would like to get some two piece rotors, cheapest I can find are ECS rotors. If there are any other reasonable options let me know. Also what pads are recommended for street with spirited driving. Car is hybrid turbo on E85.
