Title: R32/Leon Cupra Brakes 17" GTI rims
Post by: Hilton_K on 18 September 2010, 09:03

Hello all,

I have been doing a bit of research into getting bigger brakes for my GTI, catch is I want to keep my stock 17" rims. Has anyone fitted the R32/Leon Cupra front and rear brakes to thier GTI running 17" rims?

Any other setups out there that would allow me to run the stock rims?

afaik to run the R32 brakes up front will require at least 18" rims.

Try upgrading your pads to Ferodo DS2500's.

Nope they do fit, for example danishmk5 runs the 17's over his 345mm R32 brakes as winter wheels  :nerd:
