MK7 vs Mk7.5 R brake size

dub_guy · Oct 29, 2018

My google-fu is weak today and haven't been able to find if there is any difference in the brakes between the MK7 and facelift R.

Trying to figure this out as I'm considering the MK7.5 R, and I've got a set of 17" Porto wheels for winter, and not sure if they'll fit. I seen they fit on the MK7.

I think GTI performance brakes are same as R MK7 or MK7.5.
I do not think and brake upgrades occurred on R for 7.5.
You could use Tirerack and enter car and look up tire or similar size to verify.
They are also good at offering technical help on chat line.
I find helpful.

I have the mk7 pp running 17” Porto wheel running 205/50 for my winter setup. It clears the caliper.

I have Portos on my MK7.5 R and they clear without issues.
