Supreme 0 Posted January 19, 2008 Have tried to use the search function but cant seem to get it to work, so thought i would just ask. In my continued quest to fit some wider dishes to my BBS splits, it was suggested that i could try and convert my '91 Rado 16V from 4x100 to 5x112, This would be easy on the rear of the car as its already running discs and i would just get an engineering firm to re thread a set of existing 5x100 discs to 5x112. On the fronts of i have tried to contact Bildon Motorsport about whether their conversion kit is available un-drilled or custom drilled to a different stud pattern. Does anyone know of a car running this conversion or if there is a company in the UK that specialise in hubs and drivetrain assemblies? Mega Thanks in Advance Alex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 21, 2008 Plenty of MK5 Golfs in the scrap yards....... they're 5x112. You could be the first to have MK5 running gear on a Corrado ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamin 0 Posted March 11, 2009 Has anyone attempted this since the original post? I've found a mk5 hub (plus disc etc) from a breakers and they want £55 + VAT so not too bad, I'm just not sure I wanna risk that amount of money only to find out it doesn't work. Re-drilling the current hubs is definately a no-no, doing so would leave about 1mm gap to the edge of the hub, so rather dangerous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zak 0 Posted March 11, 2009 you can redrill the original hubs to 5 x 112, you just need to add a re inforcement ring around the hub these are Furkz hubs but mine are done the same way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

s1m0n 0 Posted March 14, 2009 Plenty of MK5 Golfs in the scrap yards....... they're 5x112. You could be the first to have MK5 running gear on a Corrado ;-) I have a complete 05 Audi front cross-member sitting in my lock-up, all ally and electronic steering assistance, I "won" a brand new set of 5x112 8x17 pro race 2's on flea bay for really silly money then the cross-member for £10 :lol: so I thought I'd have a "play"... The 03- and MK5 stuff uses a bolt in bearing carrier, it's quite nice! As for retro-fit, there are some issues to overcome but I've been too busy to give it any attention so far... Sorry, not much help Cheers Simon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
