converting 4x100 to 5x100

[g60rc 0]

Can anyone shed light on how i would do it, is there a dedicated difinitive thread maybe with a parts list? Basically i've seen that CH's are available in 5x100 and i'm not keen on adaptors.

 

I have read that you can use the hubs and outer CV's from a VR and then have to use g60 disks but get them drilled and material taken off.

 

Is there a way to do it so i just use VR6 brakes, no machining, just off the shelf parts etc.

 

Cheers

C'mon guys, you just need to use the search properly, there's tons of threads on this ;)

That's using advanced search:

 

+conver* +stud

 

Search only in Drivetrain and return threads rather than posts.

 

And the above is only an example, there's more threads than that knocking around.

Cool thanks, you're obviously much better at using the search than me!

 

So i conclude from that i need...?:

 

Front: Outer CV's, Hubs, bearings, and just some new disks... Are any hubs ok, or do i need the early passat type 35 VR6 ones?

 

Rear: Just Vr6 disks.

 

Cheers

I've got the outer CV's, Corrado VR6 hubs and re drilled G60 front disks, VR bearings, rear VR disks.

 

You'll need to modify your ABS rings if you have ABS.

 

You'll need 20 wheel bolts from a VR6, they're bigger than G60 ones.

Just a couple of questions -

 

What mods to the ABS rings?

 

Does this conversion alter the offset?

 

Thanks

Thanks for that Jim, better if all the pics would show and were bigger.

Yeah - sadly the original site was long gone, so this is from archive.org! If it wasn't for that site, it would have gone all together! :(
