AC Industries Rear Wide-5 Disc Brake Kit with E-Brake — 5x205 Zero Offset, IRS | VW Beetle, Ghia & Super Beetle 1968–1972 (113698601DE)

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.
