How much difference is there really between mine and a g60 brake, just out of interest. :smiley:

im glad thsi has been bought up as i was goin to start a thread hope u dont mind me butting in

i have justput 280 corrado g60s on mine got issues with my bbs s dont fit tho there are standard 15" mk2 golf bbs alloys the flexi rubs on the inside of the wheel and the wheel once tight just gets stuck on the caliper i believe any way round it as they look the nuts and as every one else has said ment to stop on a penny


cheers lee

So not all 15's fit then? is it to do with the offset or the actual inside diameter of the wheel. I'm running a set of mim 1900's with et13 and planning on putting on a mk3 280mm set-up, do you guys think they'll go on?
