Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if they are Empi I don't believe they are the type Silver was talking about. The ones Silver is talking about run a Holden brake caliper from memory. With that said, you will probably find that the offset will only be about half inch wider anyway per side.

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

+1. Expect to rebuild the calipers before you use it. Better still. Find out what car they came off and buy some proper ones.
