Am I going to be ok with a B7 front and rear brake upgrade whilst still keeping the OEM wheels?

I'm looking at buying a Dec 2000 model with several tweaks including a MRC remap but as part of the deal letting the seller keep the 19" Sportec Mono 10s and refit the originals.

Should I get spacers? Will the alloys be too close to the calipers to allow for any give in the wheels? Are the alloys going to crack up or bend if I track day the car?

Apologies for the dumb questions but I know diddly squat about B5 RS4s!

TIA thumbup

In short, yes. Std wheel ok, no spacers needed in my experience.

B7 RS4 brakes will fit under B5 RS4 wheels without any modifications.
