When I fitted mine the banjo bolt on the end of the brake line had to be changed because of the thread. Ive got Hel braided brake lines but im guessing you will have to change the banjo to.

The standard golf calipers are M10x1.5 where as the brembos are M10x1 what Hel told me and they fitted perfectly.

i had huge problems getting my alloys to fit over the caliper. unfortunately i can't give the alloy et as i don't know, but i had to wait days for spacers/bolts. so just make sure you can clear the calipers before fitting if you need your car for transport etc!  :undecided:

Some wheels clear others don't, offset does not really matter.
