S f tuning 6 pot brake upgrade on mk4 caddy

Post by Bad666 »

Has anyone purchased the 6 pot s f tuning front brake upgrade with 250 discs and 6 pot Touareg/Porsche front brake kit?
My mechanic has tried fitting today and said I need at least 8mm spacer but would take paint off arch?
Need arches rolling apparently?
Looking for advise before I take drastic measures.
Either that or need a concave wheel as my offset is
8.5
19”

Wheel offset and spoke profile/design will dictate how much extra spacing you will need to fit over those (18Z ??) Calipers. They are a chunky caliper, needs lots of space.
