312mm Brakes and 16" Wheels.

You will need to space the wheel out quite a bit

Ahhh that sucks - do you know or can you guess what the minimum offset should be to fit the bigger calipers under? Also Troy - what else do you need to do the conversion?

Just calipers, carriers, pads, 312mm rotors and spacers, doubt you will find any wheels to cleat it without spacers, even my bora sports which clear R32 brakes needed a 5mm spacer

So I don't need any new lines or anything? And what about wear indicator sensors cause the Polo has one right and so do the calipers? Surely that's not plug and play? It's not essential, but would be cool if I cool if I could do that too. So I'll get the calipers, the adapters, 312mm discs, pads and then I just need some spacers.

Could I even go as big as 323mm? I could then get the MK1 Cupra R Brembo Discs which look incredible.

Pad sensor is just a contact, you can cut the connector off and join the wires or connect something across the connections. Not really going to cause issues IMO.

If you don't need the bigger brakes, you are just adding unsprung weight. The 312mm rotors are not light.

I don't think it's much to worry about though really. My priorities have always been aesthetics over performance, hence why the car is still untuned. It sounds so lame I know!

Sorry if this is too far off-topic, but does anyone know the smallest diameter rims that'll fit over the stock GTI brakes?

VR6 Golfs had 288s and came with 15s, don't take it as gospel that any 15 will fit though.

Pretty sure that one of the 6R GTi guys (Gambit?) fitted some to his car and they have the same brake setup.
