Does this have anything to do with Karmann Ghia-based hubs (~72.3mm) and typical 4x100 or 5x100 VW water-cooled wheels having a 57.1 hub hole?

(This is like playing darts in the dark.)

If it is, you can have your front wheels* machined to fit as I did, or you can get Lanner's Golf-based brakes in either pattern and not have any worries.

Although I am very happy with what I have, I probably would have gone the latter route if I were doing this today. Furthermore, if I find that my current front brakes could use an improvement after the drivetrain upgrade, I still might get Lanner's brakes.

* The rear wheels did not need machining.
