bare with me ..... alloys again

[-danisdubbin-]

hey guys, im pickign up my first gti on wednesday night ..... hopefully and have a quick question

can someone give me a quick rundown on the wheel sizes for the mk3? ive had a scoot round on the internet having a look at like tyre sizes etc, but its prob best to ask one of you lovely people

i hear that some seat/audi alloys will fit??

oh and is the mk3 4 or 5 stud??

can someone give me a quick rundown, itd be much appreciated

cheers all

GTI/VR6 are 5 stud
Non GTI/VR6 are 4 stud

Seat/Audi wheels will fit as long as they're the right stud pattern - for example you'd need 5x100 wheels for a GTI

[justalex81]

gti will be 5 stud 5x100pcd.

standard wheel size is 205/50/15 but you can 215/45/r16's

17's will fit also but it'll handle like a cnut and when you hit a big pothole (and you will) then you'll probably bend the alloy

brilliant, cheers guys!!

lifesavers

is tyre size the same as wheel size??

am i looking for a 205/50/15 tyre?

[thai-wronghorse]

you fit can those but with the choice id opt for 195/50/15 instead as they are cheaper and handle slightly better.

As above 195/50/15's is the better choice.
