c00k 435 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Can be converted to fit 288mm Some people just grind a tiny bit out the carrier either side. Could even be filed out. But you can get different carries to make it fit without grinding. But I can't remember what there from. Edited March 26, 2015 by c00k Link to post Share on other sites

CALICO 130 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Yes they should fit no problem only some 16's wont fit over them but I never had that problem Link to post Share on other sites
Cooz93 66 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Get a full Tt/mk4 1.8t or mk4 4 motion set up. Easy fit, just need longer caliper carrier bolts and possibly a spacer to bring the caliper out from the hub. About 5-6mm. I had them fitted with some banded steel and there were no issues. Will need banjo type brake lines if your car has 280mm brakes as standard. Or just use the originals if it has the later 288mm calipers.. Item 281675349291 on ebay would do the job..Hope that helps:) Link to post Share on other sites
