Maybe the bracket offset was wrong? Moving the bracket in and out along the length of a bolt wouldn't allow you to fit bigger discs, you need to move the caliper away from the centre of the hub. They must have been changed to fit 312s.

Your VR6 is a 94 yeah? A lotta 94s come with 280mm brakes.
The usual upgrade that is done is using 288mm calipers with s3 caliper carriers but you also need to use a small spacer. Looks like they have done it with some washers.
Ive got my S3 brake upgrade sitting here waiting to go on my VR6. Im kinda praying they will fit under my 16" Rims. Not expecting them to though.
yeah ive got these on my mk2vr , you can get most 16's you might just have to shave the caliper abit nothing major, there is pictures of the brakes and wheels in my mk2 thread
