370mm front discs
« on: May 12, 2014, 08:42:12 pm »
I know the audi rs3 discs dont fit mk5 golf gti's but what about the ttrs 370mm discs?

Anyone know if they would fit?

I was running TTRS calipers with the 370mm ttrs discs, needed 10mm spacers to fit behind Huffs, but depending on what wheels you will be using a different size of spacer may be required.

Others have run with the 345mm discs from r32/s3's, but different brackets have been required to fit these, if you contact Daveb1970 here on the forum here, he will keep you right and also be able to supply you with the correct parts to fit.

He is a busy man, so hang in there !

Was thinking of r32 discs but someone has some 370mm ones as well, was looking into get some fifteen52 tarmacs or 3sdm 0.01s 8.5j wide so they should fit behind right without spacers?

I wouldn't be aware if they would fit behind your choice of wheel... Only one way to find out.

Buy the wheels, post them to me, I will trial fit them for you  :laugh:

Hopefully someone who has tried this combination out, can give a more suitable answer !


 :driver:

Anno the wheel weights need to be put to the back of the wheels, as they hit of the caliper, that's how close they are to the wheel, but if you used a smaller disc, like the r32 discs, this would be ok.

Hope that helps!
