Title: wheels, corrado 4x100 brakes (11"?)
Post by: erice1984 on February 03, 2011, 02:31:58 pm

I have some 91 corrado 4 bolt brake setup that the previous owner put on my rabbit.  I was wondering if its possible to squeeze 14" wheels over the setup.  I know corrado's came with 15" and the smallest diameter VW ran on them was 15".

Reason for asking is because I want narrower rims/tires for the winter, and its hard to find 15x5, easier to find 14x5.

GEE-BEE is right. When I put on my summer tires (15's) I take off my 10.1's and put on the 11" rotors. Stopping power is better and it looks cool seeing that much rotor lurking in there. 8)

nice.  I was looking into downsizing the rotors.  I have PLENTY of braking with 11" rotors.  So the 10" rotors from a scirocco will fit?  Do I use the same calipers as with the G60?  or how does that work?

G60 fit

G60 brakes are very cheap ( rotor's)

adapters for the MK1 from [email protected], he also makes the ebrake cables for the caddy's

I did all new s/s hardlines and G60 brakes
22 mm master with MKII pedal swap , MKII brake switch
16V prop valves ( scirocco )
Stops like my Porsche

That's about what I have in my rabbit right now.

I was wondering what parts I would need to change to get the scirocco 10" brakes on the car.  I think the calipers are different from the G60 and rocco, and of course brake pads and rotors are different.

So I just want to know if G60 calipers and rocco calipers are the same, and probably not.

Can you get good winter tires in appropriate sizes for a 15x5 wheel? If so you could get some diamond racing wheels, reasonable price, whatever offset.
