Jamie 1 Posted December 21, 2014 Back in the summer I was looking at spacers for the rear of my car and came across a site that made stub axle spacers instead of wheel spacers. I've also been looking for a way of getting a larger rear disc as well and just suddenly thought - instead of just a spacer, would it be possible to have a hub adapter made up so you could fit MKIV stub axles to a Corrado beam? Pretty sure if it was possible you'd have all done it but can't find a definitive "its impossible" answer... Btw I know JMR and Eurospec do a kit but they're both out of my budget at the minute so I'm trying to do it on the cheap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted December 22, 2014 No interest in this then? Shame cos I think I'm almost there with what's needed to run MKIV hubs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted December 22, 2014 what's the advantage of running mk4 hubs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted December 22, 2014 what's the advantage of running mk4 hubs? For me - 280mm rear discs but you also get the advantage of more modern cartridge bearings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted December 22, 2014 Talk me through what is needed to convert to mk4 hubs then and what happens to the wheel track? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dox 22 Posted December 22, 2014 I thought PurpleTom used Polo GTi rear stubs with MK4 cartridge bearings, 256mm (Mk4 Gti rear) disks and calipers and carriers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Sean - not 100% sure how I'm going to go about it yet but hopefully the track will stay the same, or in my case I may add 10mm to mine and bin my spacers. That's a great find Emu nice one! Hoping to come in a fair bit cheaper than that though if I can. Dox - that was the way I was heading originally but I've since read that MK4 hubs don't fit the Polo spindles. If Purple Tom has done it and they do, then that would be awesome!
