i did a 5 stud hub conversion off my old gti & the brakes are 280mm where as the standard estae ones are 256mm on coz of the et of the wheels when i tightend the wheel up it hit the caliper so needed abt 11/12mm spacers to clear the caliper by 1/2mm

So et10 on back and et8 on the front with 9" all round?


If your not good with metal then you will need to call a pro. To roll and flare your arch.

You won't ever tuck them bad boys lol

Just make sure you get all the sealant off behind the arch before you do them ;) go wavy as hell if you don't!
