2wd 4pots do not fit behind the standard wheels.
They need 4mm machining off the mating face of the caliper and the hubs need drilling to 14mm (don't quote me on that)...
I did the 2wd caliper conversion on my s1... i found out that you have to bin the standard wheels the hard way
But... once on and working, boy do they stop IMO the most cost effective way of making a rst stop... if you don't mind loosing the standard wheels. Been in an rst with 4wd calipers and IMO theres no comparison

Firstly 4 pots will fit on, secondly they will fit behind standard rims but you need some fairly big ass spacers so for standard rims its not really a good idea.
To fit 4 pots, you have to skim 3-4mm off the caliper face, and tap the hub with M12 threads, and get some cutoms pipes
