Re: Are 4 x 100mm hubs interchangeable with 4x 108?

There is no Audi 5 x 108.  It's 5 x 112. 
The problem is that the Rabbit driveshafts will not fit the Audi 
hubs BTDT when the driveshaft on my Coupe failed and I tried to swap 
a complete outer CV out of a Scirocco.  The CV fit the shaft but it 
did bind when I installed it on the car. i.e you would have to 
replace the outer CV to match the bearing/hub combination.
Rear drums should fit as long as you replace everything to match them 
i.e. shoes, cylinders etc.  The spindle itself is the same.
It would be easier to get some 4 x 100 rims.
