Thanks man. I might have Lanner just buy one rotor and get all the dimensions off of it then take it back. VW Parts accept non-used parts back don't they?

yes we do.

Or you could just go to the dealer with a stud pattern guage and ask the front counter parts salesman to grab you an 06 jetta/rabbit rotor.

It's actually not the pattern I'm worried about, it's the hub-centric area, the angle and diameter of this area, but Lanner said that it's actually on the hub, not the rotor, so that's not much help. I would be hearing from Lanner later this week about how things have worked out.

the MkVs have a much different offset than the mkIVs. I dont know if this matters in your set up but I'll throw it out there as a heads up.

MkV wheel sizes
GLI/GTI stock Ronal 17" wheel - 17x7 et 54 - 23lbs
Monza/Detroit/Hufweisen BBS 18" wheel - 18x7.5 et 51 - 29lbs
Karthoum 18" wheel - 18x8 et 50 - 28lbs

MkIV R32 and 20th Ann. Edition wheel size
Aristo (R32 and 20thAE) 18 x 7.5 et 35 - 21 lbs.

YES! 50-54 is a great range for offsets! I'll be able to run Porsche or VW wheels on the front, Lanner is making up hubs that will accept both, and I'll have him make up some adapters for the rear. That's great news, thanks.
