pls hockenheim clearance issues with caliper

Hi

this is my first post so go easy. I have a mk1 caddy 1988 and have just bought some pls wheels for it .the rear wheels fit fine but the fronts they won't fit due to the calipers. Now I have read that people have problems with fitting 13" wheels because of the carrier on the calliper. So my question is will my wheels fit if I use the mk1 gti carrier.

the wheels are staggered widths 7.5 and 8 x 13's
7.5's are et30
8's are et27
dont know if it matters but the tyres are 195/45/13 all around

 

Welcome Scotty - glad you found us  

I'm no wheel expert so can't help sadly but I know someone will be along shortly to tell you what you need to know  

In the meantime, show us some pics of your Caddy, we like pics  

Enjoy your time here

Andy  

Thanks andy



 

Hey that's really nice Scotty!! Standard, but not quite! Like it  

Yeah its on cheap coilovers at the moment but it will be on bags by the end of the year.

yeah have a look at your caliper carriers, if they have the big hoop roudn the front then you have later type. if the wheels are hitting that then yes chances are fitting earlier mk1 1.5-1.8 carriers will solve your problem.

they arnt only on gtis most 1.5-1.8 have them just the really early models and some of the diesels have the smaller square type calipers which are no good for you
