Hello,

I’m considering on ordering a new disc brake conversion kit with lowering spindles with the 5×112 / 5×130 pattern. I have a set of 16″ x 7″ aftermarket rims for Audi (5 x112 pattern). Do I need special adaptors o spacers with this brake kit to mount them or can I mount them directly into the new 5x 112 pattern discs? The purchase of the drums will follow.

Thanks!

Hi Francisco,

Thank you for your interest in our products.

The kit #498770PB is designed to do what you are wanting.  With that size of wheel there is no known problem that you should expect installing the wheel onto our rotor.  The rotor comes with 14mm 1.5 threaded lug holes.  Do you have the lug nuts for these wheel yet?  Most of these wheels will use either a 12mm or 14mm nut.  If you can reply with the nut size I can help with the part number for the needed wheel studs.

As for fitment of this size wheel on a VW, I would need to have a bunch more info to go any further.

Thanks, Andy
