OK if you are interested the contact this bloke [email protected] as he is organising it all. You better be quick as he is tieing it all up VV soon. I dont know if this will fit with no probs but i personally am making an educated risk at it. If you wonna do the same contact him.

see the Corrado G60 thread for more info.

i think he means you need 17's to be able to fit the brakes in the wheel!

'yeh i know' (andy voice, little britain)

just sayign 17's would be annoying, id probably sell on brakes if that was the case

reckon you would get your money back no problem anyway

16's *will* work (the Ibiza Cupra R had 16's from the factory), but they need to have sufficient caliper clearance.

There's more info here - check out 'ibizacupra's post, about half way down, with a diagram showing how to check the clearance.

17"s are the Dogz-b*******s !

The wheels shrink the Polo to the naked eye, looks much meatier with 17"s

The wheels on the Leon Cupra R are indeed 18 inch, 5 stud fitment. These brakes are from the Ibiza Cupra R manufactured from 2000-2002, which had 16 inch alloys, 4 stud fitment wheels. As such, they should be a direct fit onto a Polo/Lupo.

Just watch out for the offset.

It's not enough to have a minimum of 16" wheel with these brakes, the clearance has to be pretty meaty to get these buggers behind!

arr crap, i know its gonna be hard. WHat kinda offset should i get then for my ACE 112's?

im gonna get the wheel dealer to check size of it on that diagram for the clearance.
