Ah sorry no that was for something else, Vauxhell Meriva 4x100 and 284mm are the nearest you will get

Only really matters if it's a VR with 288mm brakes tbh. I had a set which is why I looked into it didn't want to go 5 stud and widetrack on the Flog centre bores may differ and iirc  fiat coupe turbo brakes may be the same

Depends what size brakes you have, if they are 280mm then corrado or golf G60 ones will fit onto a 4 stud hub, if they are 256 then 4 stud GTI ones will fit, if they are the 288mm VR6 ones then there are a set from I believe a cavalier turbo or calibra that are 288mm and 4x100

this doesnt work if you press 4 stud hubs into 5 stud bearing carriers, the disc offset is different hence why I said about re-drilling the 5 stud discs.

4 stud disc:


5 stud disc:

this wont work either if the op retains the 5 stud bearing carriers with 4 stud hubs pressed in. As above, the disc offset is different so the calipers & discs wont fit together. Need to redrill a 5 stud 288 disc to 4x100

Yeah i see what your saying So 4 stud hub press it is and a wee bit of re drilling .
So for the rear i would need to split the hub of a mk2 16v or perhaps a passat ?
ps I really didnt expect such a response this forum is soooo gurd.

for the rear its easy, just fit 4 stud rear discs to your existing stubbies
biggest dificulty will probasbly getting the carrier bolts off, they can be a total nightmare
