Wheel bearing recommendations

[boneybradley]

Ain't there a different heavy duty bearing for cars with 18" wheels (25th anni, R32, Audi TT etc)?

That's possible, Bearings are same size but it's a possibility they are more heavy duty?

(I know with the Mk3 the standard and GTi bearings themselves are the same or have the same markings etc and it is just the sundries that are different)

I couldn't find any different bearings listed on ETKA...

Mine shows GTI 25th as bearing kit 8L0 498 625 and the standard mk4 as 1J0 498 625

lots of factors, size and shape of housing mostly with load being defined by speed an load.
If you can be bothered the whole part number system is explained in the links below

I need do the bearings on mine soon..

As it is a 180 late version is the Anni/R32 kit needed rather than normal? Had a quick look on ECP and same for both but would rather have a more heavy duty bearing as on 18" wheels and quite low.

Heavy duty bearing comes with a large torx bolt, standard comes with a nyloc nut. Depends which driveshafts it has fitted.
