Im planning on swapping the G60 brakes to the fronts. I ordered the higher offset wheels will the wheels have a low enuff offset to clear the calipers???
Would I need spacers? I did a search, the threads weren't to clear on this part of the G60 brake swap...

Ronal is closing down it's aftermarket wheel operations so I would imagine a lot of things are on sale.

Ronal is out of the lower offest wheel, an online dealer bought them all, same with the LS. Ive seen pics of rado's with the Turbo but is it different on the Rabbits??????

I found a thread with a Corrado running the turbos, I was just wondering if the rabbit creates a different offset with the brakes them selfs.

I found a thread with a Corrado running the turbos, I was just wondering if the rabbit creates a different offset with the brakes them selfs.

caliper position is dictated by the rotor. the adapter to mount 11" brakes on a rabbit only mimic what the corrado steering knuckle would be doing.
so, the caliper is in a very similar position. it might be at a different angle, but it is offset from the face of the rotor by the same amount.
