need a low offset 5 lug hub

[my2000apb]

ive made up some kingpin/sphericals to replace the outer balljoints, but I have a clearance issue.

they are very tight to my machined urS hubs In b3 front knuckles

so basically I need a hub that sits as far outboard as possible, s2 coupe, avant? what has the lowest offset?

Rears from a typ44 200 / 100 S4/S6 IIRC have the lowest offset, think that gives you 10mm more space.

Have a set of those floating around, can make measurements if required

so people machine these for b3 knuckles, are they taking the ~8mm of material off for proper hub to bearing interface, of for offset change for brakes? or is it for cv splines to hub splines engagement?

I have made up a spherical/kingpin to replace the outer balljoints, and need a bit more clearance for the weld cup to be welded to custom c-arm

use a brake disk whith lower hatheigt.... and make another brake sadel/ adapter....... some of the senterhubbs are different... audi 90 (20v) and s2 does have +17 +17mm ofset...
or se about the other vw versons,, eurovan or so...audi 100 or c4---

the current discs are 320mm b8 a4q fronts, they are pretty low offset

know of a specific rotor with less offset?

seen in some katalog for disks and brakepads....?? they are listed in big nrs... 5x112.... some audi, some vw, some fords, and mercedes use them...

dont some a8's have a spacer that sits between the disc and hub? i seem to remember it from the many brake porn threads from the past..

[terrybullwon]

They don't look very long king pins, are they about 40mm bearing cup face to bottom of hub?

they aren't too long, im in the midst of building longer c-arms, with relocated pickup points on the subframe, so I don't need to get back all my geometry just at the pin

hmmmm that had crossed my mind, is that sketchy?

[Bowie69]

No more sketchy than running wheel spacers, and plenty of people do that round here.

Why not just use rotors with low offset bells to move the rotor out axially

hahaha yeah that's kinda where I was going, dang project outta hand ahahah

I like that option more than "spacing"

know of a place where I can get 320mm x 30mm rotor rings?

[Error404]

You can get them AP do 320x30.
320x28 or 320x32 are more common sizes

Looks like they are available stateside cheaper though

soo many options

might just have to draw up some hats, seems like the easier way to do it
