    GTI brakes rotors

    Hi

    I need to replace the rear rotors on my gti and had a look online and it says the 255mm rotors fit my gti but I was also told the 256mm is the stock fitment.

    So does anyone know if the 255mm fit or is it only the 256mm.


    Thanks

    I thought they were 256mm on the rear, but 1mm wont make a difference.

    If there was a 20-30mm difference then id be worried.

    that's what i was thinking but then I checked this site. Volkswagen Golf 5 GTI Technical Specs, Dimensions then that muddied the waters even more. it says the rear rotor on the GTI mk5 are 286mm.

    GTI brakes rotors

    I just looked on the Automotive Superstore site which is where I recently bought new Bosch disks for my own Mk7 GTI. They have several listings saying they fit the Mk5 GTI and the sizes of the disk vary - looks like you might need to measure yours first.

    I know VW changed rear disk and caliper size on the Mk6 GTI during its production, so perhaps they also did it with the Mk5?
