Macan Vs TTS callipers

[VAG Parts Bin]

Has anyone confirmed if either the Macan or TTS kit can be run with the 19x8 ET50 Pretorias? I've seen speculation and assumptions posted but not a single pic. There's a pic of a stock 19" A3 wheel mounted successfully, so I am hopeful.

Thx

I have the TTS kit and it works with both my 17 and 18 inch wheels. Pretoria would fit too for sure but would need at least a 10mm spacer to clear. Most OEM wheels will fit with a spacer.

Agree with Clem604, I run 18x8 et 49 but need 15 mm spacers due to spokes on wheels. The original 18x7.5 et 45 also work and probably would with 10 mm spacers.

So I found a car on killerbrakes.com's customer gallery that shows 19" Pretoria's with the TTS kit. In the killerbrakes product listing for the TTS kit it states that the Pretoria's need a 10mm spacer.

So that makes me feel that this is closer to a "go" on my end. I want to retain my Pretoria's and don't want to have to run a crazy sized spacer to make it happen.

Next question -

Any idea what the difference is in the part numbers?

For black, I see 2 #s listed (left side for reference):

8S0615107G to 09/2018
8S0615107J from 09/2018

For red, I see 2 listed (left side for reference):

8S0615107H to 09/2018
8S0615107K from 09/2018

Is the difference simply that he older ones have the TTs logo and the newer ones only have the "S"?

 

[Clem604]

I believe the part number was superseded and yes you are correct, the newer calipers have just the S .

Thanks for the info.

For those running the isweep 1500s, I notice that they do not come with the wear sensor, so curious how that is handled.

Almost ready to place the order with e-acca on the TTS setup.

Thx!

I am running the iSweep 1500 and yes do they not have a pad wear sensor but my car didn't come with one from factory.

How much are the calipers from E-Acca? I was able to get the calipers from my local Audi dealer for $580CAD($426USD) per caliper.

Not sure why you're considering TTS instead of Macan, unless you have some expensive floating 340mm discs you want to keep...

The Macan setup requires too large of a spacer for the Pretorias and I'm not buying wheels.

What size spacer are you using with the TTS callipers then? I thought that both the Macan and TTS callipers required a 12mm spacer to fit behind a Pret.

 

[VAG Parts Bin]

10mm for TTS and I've read 12, 15, or 20mm is needed for the Macan depending on the thread. Too much uncertainty.

I can tell you from experience that the 18" Prets don't fit with the Macan calipers with a 10mm spacer.

 

[TheBlondeFella]

what's the consensus here then regarding spacers and 19inch Prets with Macan callipers?

Here are some pictures of my set up with the TTS calipers on a 17 GTI sport. The wheels are Neuspeed RS forged (older model) 18x8 et45 with 15mm spacers. The spokes curve out from the hub to the rim. I have a measured 8mm of clearance at the middle of the spoke and the caliper at it mid-point (see picture 3). Stock wheels are Nogaro 18x7.5 49et. Don't know how this compares to the Pretoria.

The black ones are $313USD and the red are I think $336USD each. I was quoted (and charged) $44USD for FedEx shipping, but we'll see if that holds true or not.

I couldn't make up my mind to get red or black but in the end I went with the black calipers (I have an R) with the older TTS script.
