    Default Changing VP calais rear hubs to VS

    Ive done some research on the internet and to fit my 18's to my VP Calais, Ive got to change the rear hubs over to VR/VS
    Can someone explain to me how to do that?
    Im going to purchase some new brake pads and discs to use at the same time.

    Why don't the VP's hubs fit with 18's? I have 18's and mine clears everything.

    This is due to the different irs Calais offset if you remember reading in my other thread about the 18" rims

    Anyone who has done this? Ive had a look through a few different threads and some people say only the trailing arms need to be changed, some people have said that only the hubs need to be changed, and others have said hubs AND trailing arms need to be changed... So I really dont know what to do?

    So does anyone know how to change the rear hub over? If I can just remove the outer hub face piece?
