ponnyj Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Is it possible / how hard would it be to do a 5x100 hub conversion on a lupo? Eg. fabia vrs hubs?im just thinking due to the wider choice of brake conversions available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogbot Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 its funny, i was looking at the mk3 gti hub with 286 discs std, they mount up the same just have to do a bit of measuring as to where the leg bolts are in the same place & the track rod end, I will lokk when i eventually get round to having the time..

Rich Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Dogbot, ball joints won't fit from the 288 mk3's.Now. . .rears, fit mk2/3 golf ones with five stud discs.Fronts, use lupo 16v arms with mk3 VR hubs, you'd have to have the arms bored out to accept the bearings and then use mk3 VR outer CV joints.Brakes, use the 280's off early mk3 GTI/VR's.Pretty much answers this thread.

Rich Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Look above at which arms I suggested using.You could always create a shim for the joints ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VR6_K Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 if youre just doing it for wheels then get some stud adapters, seems the easiest bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
