Howcome my Estorils from my Passat VR6 doesn't fit the C?

I thought the Passat VR6 and the Corrado VR6 fron hub/assembly was the same - but found out the Estorils rims I use on the passat actually touch the calipers in front of the corrado - do these cars have different ET's etc?.

 

I was under the impression that wheels on a VR6 is pretty much interchangable.......but so wrong can one be :)

 

they fit fine in the back though...:)

Probably have 288mm brakes on the Passat therefore no brace bar on the caliaper like you do on the Corrado's 280mm calipers.

If it's an early Passat VR then it might be base suspension with 5 stud - they did this for on chassis year...

 

If so you will notice the brake discs are a different offset and I'm guessing the wheels will be ET33 rather than ET43 for Plus suspension
