You may need to space the wheel slightly due to construction of the actual wheel

Also when measuring for a spacer take into consideration your pad wear. If the are low you may need to add 15mm onto the measurement. If pads are new then only add 2mm.

Google search it. "What spacer for cade eros on mk3 golf gti."

So what year and engine? There are two types of brakes for these cars. 280mm and 288mm. Obviously the 288mm will be a larger spacer.
