Re: R32 brakes?

They'll fit under certain 18's but not all. R32 owners have problems when changing wheels due to the front brakes. Your hubs will be fine though as the mountings are the same as 312's and 288's. New brake hoses are also required as the fittings are different.

I forgot to say I can lay my hands on some R32 brakes and wheels if you need them.

AFAIK the R32 doesn't even come with a spare wheel because it has to be 18" and that won't fit in the wheel well!

338mm huge! I got mine in my garage... I could put my r32 wheels on the VRS but I don't like them as it is... look good but cleaning them is a joke


must explain... I currently own a MK4 Golf GT TDI 130 with r32 Aristos and I have recently bought R32 brakes then I found a VRS I want so I'm in the process of buying that and want to fit the R32 brakes on it

but ohh well thats rubbish

I think 18" O.Z SuperT's and SuperL's have enough clearance to take the brakes.
