312mm Upgrade

[Cos]

You mention the LC using 288mm carriers, but just seen this set up on ed38 (Link requires log in)

Can anyone shed any light on whether they'll fit straight on?

Thanks

Give them a good refurb before putting them on the car. Have a look in my RR thread for how I did mine!

Ah interesting stuff, I'll be going yellow with mine. Where did you get that seals & dust caps kit?

Nice one, thanks. Might as well go for a full refurb on these

Do it. They will look awesome when you have finished and you will have the peace of mind knowing that the seals are all new and not going to split anytime soon!

Would the 312mm setup from an 09 Octavia VRS fit an Ibiza FR?

 

[.Phase]

no it's only Mk1 VRS

I used that refurb kit too, as Mike says it`s well worth taking the time to refurb them properly before fitting.. you`ll feel much better about it when done.

I went for conservative black on my calipers and did the carriers silver (Hammerite smooth):

As said only a mk1. I think the mk2 setup will physically fit but the calipers are too big for the wheels to go back on!

The specific setup you need to fit a pre-facelift FR is the ATE/Teves 54 calipers from the cars listed earlier up the thread... with the 312mm carriers.

and it is worth all the hard work searching for them

try TTOC, had several offers there! finally got some for £100!

will the 312mm carriers from a mk5 vw golf gti fit?

 

[.Phase]

anniversary only

I don't know why GTi won't but apparently not

 

[nwmlarge]

mk5 gti are the same as tt
mk4 are anni only

 

[knight85]

mk5 gti is same as TT so you sure thse wont fit? I presume its the mk2 TT and only mk1 TT will fit?

 

[knackerdecobre]

No they won't. Different fitment as they are 5x112.

Just get them from a Mk4 Golf GTi Anni, Mk1 Octavia VRs, Mk1 Audi TT or mk1 S3, MK1 Leon Cupra

Only the discs would be but you would be replacing them anyway. Just buy the mk5 ones and buy 5x100 discs to go with.

Im sure the hubs are different, therefore the carriers are too
