5 studding a B4 using MK3 golf parts

Post by craig1010cc »

I've been told (by someone who's done it) that I could use the following parts from a Mk3 golf GTI and 5 stud my passat

Front hubs, carriers, discs, pads, calipers, wish bones and outer cvs, no need to change the steering rack as passats are already wide tracked, its just the lower ball joint and arb mount differently with the 5stud hubs so you have to change the wishbones to match

Has anyone else done this and as I have discs on the rear, am I right that I only need to buy new VR6 rear discs and just swap them over (and that the stub axle, calipers and carriers are all that same)

If so, I think that could be a cheap and easy way to go 5x100 and have access to a much wider range of cheap rims :D
