AC Industries rear Wide-5 disc brake conversion for independent rear suspension (IRS) Volkswagens. This is the bolt-on companion to the AC Industries Wide-5 front disc kits, completing a fully matched 5x205mm four-wheel disc setup with a built-in emergency brake. Zero offset keeps your rear track at stock width.
Fits: 1968–1972 VW Beetle, Karmann Ghia & Super Beetle with IRS (short-spline axles). Also works great on fiberglass buggies and replica cars running the same short-spline IRS.
Bolt pattern: Wide-5, 5x205mm — matches AC Industries Wide-5 front disc kits.
Kit includes:
- (2) Wide-5 5x205mm rotors
- (2) calipers
- (2) nodular-iron caliper mounting brackets
- (4) brake pads (#D201)
- (2) emergency-brake cables
- (2) seal kits
- Mounting hardware & installation instructions
⚠️ Parts You May Need (this kit ships without plumbing, studs or a master cylinder):
- (2) Stainless braided brake hoses — AC #211611775BSS (front/rear, left/right), to plumb the rear calipers
- (2) 25" metal brake lines — AC #113611764B, required to complete the rear hardline plumbing
- Four-wheel-disc master cylinder — #113611020BAD (’49–’77 Bug, Ghia & Thing) or #113611020BHD (’71–’79 Super Beetle)
- Screw-in wheel studs, 14mm — these rotors are drilled/tapped, so press-in studs will not work
Fitment notes: Requires 15" or larger wheels. Will not clear longer/wider-than-stock IRS trailing arms. For 1973-and-later long-spline IRS, use the long-spline version instead.
