4 x 100, now the brake calliper carrier on my caddy is hitting the dish of the wheel, are they any different Carriers that will straight swap onto my caddy or is there a 4 x 100 conversion?
Thanks!

Presumably 13 inch diameter?
If so you may need to run some spacers to pus the back of the wheel away from the caliper.
I presume this is what you mean?
Cheers Ian
Ian is right you just need to run some very small spacers to solve this issue.
I had this issue with some Mini lights I had fitted

Couldn't you just cut the hoops off? Seems like a classic piece of vw over engineering to me
No. That HOOP has a purpose, it ties both mounting points to the spindle. It also keeps the Calipers and the pad equal distant to the rotor. Cutting it will allow the caliper to twist when applied as the piston moves against the pad.
You will seriously impair your brakes and hazard your life as well as the passengers and who ever you meet by accident. If the Solicitor that the injured party hires finds out you modified a Safety feature, you could be very much liable for all damages….even if you didn't start the accident.
Let's all be safe rather than sorry.
