brake conversions and wheel bearings

My gti has had a brake conversion 256mm VW based, probably mk2 16V.

Winter hibernation is over so its time for the MOT, while checking it over I've discovered that one of my wheel bearings is a little rough (no play) so I need to replace it.

Can anyone advise whether or not the hubs will have been changed with the brakes and if so, any idea what wheel bearings I'll require.

Cheers Simon

Heres a pic of the brakes if it helps identify them.

Mine used to look just like that with the grooved discs. The brake conversion is bolt on so nothing else has been changed. Standard bearings required.

Cheers thats what I'd hoped. Just making sure that mk2 hubs were not needed to fit the different calipers.
