yeah if you want 288 you need either polo gt, fabia vrs or ibiza fr hubs, although tbh im not sure if anyones had a look at mk4 golf/bora platform hubs, you could be onto the biggest break through here if theyre anything like as its a million times easier to find mk4s in a scrappy than any of the others, if i get a chance sometime soon i'll jack our lasses polo and my dads bora up and compare the front hubs

as said dan your in the same boat, you need the front hubs changing, as you'll have 256s on, but instead of the 288 carriers you need to get hold of the right ones for 312, you cant run no smaller than 16" with 312s so itd be wise to get a 16" spare too

It's the hub carriers, not the hubs themselves that differ. I've looked into this as it's on my "to do" list.

And no, the Golf/Bora setup won't fit.

Most of you guys probably know this, but the Mk7 Polo GTI has them as well, but (thankfully) not many are being broken just yet.
