I have asked this on the brake and wheel technical forum to no avail. Does anyone have this setup or can tell me if it will work? I don't want to put everything on and then realize I have to only run bigger wheels.

From my understanding, it will not work with the BBS's, see here: http://www.parts4vws.com/catal...erodo

You will have to grind the side of the caliper. The 2-piece barrel's inner diameter is too small and rubs against the side of the caliper. There are 2 small bumps that need to be grinded down.
I wasn't thrilled about grinding down my caliper, but there are people that have done it. I just don't know if they ever had any problems.

Thanks for all of your info. I will just wait until I get bigger wheels to put them on. Time to sell the wolfsburg wheels I guess.

No need to sell your wheels. The TT brake upgrade is compatible with the WE BBS wheels. I speak from experience...as mentioned, the caliper requires minor modification; grind off an 1/8" bump.

Why don't you just get a set of 10mm spacers instead? Or does that not help?

It's an issue with the inside diameter of the wheel, not lateral clearance.

I know that grinding the caliper is an option, I would rather not do that. This is not a daily driver or a car that has to be driven in the snow, so it can ride on 18 or 19's all year. Gonna sell the wheels.

Ok then if you grind it down will 1/8" be enough? how many people have done this? would there be any danger in grinding the caliper?
