i don't think they will. They might fit with some spacers fitted as well:shrug:

I think you'll need the wheels off the Cupra R as the backs of the spokes have been cut away to clear the calipers. I could be wrong though...

What about some Wilwoods? They're not quite as restrictive when it comes to the type of wheel required, but I've no idea whether they'd fit behind standard wheels though.

i havent really shopped about for them tbh, i just know where i can get a cheapish set of cupraR brembo's from so thought i'd ask about them!

is there anyone who has ever tried without success at gettin them on? coz i'd be willing to put 15mm spacers on but 30mm will be pushing my luck a bit!

I believe Bill has, and thats where the 30mm spacers came from,

Can you pm me the details of the brakes, if you dont mind, I personally dont mind getting new wheels to fit them!

There's been loads of posts in the past about this also, so this isnt just a guess response.
