Measure between the wheel stud holes. You will need 4x100 pcd to fit a mk2 hub. I think 7J is quite wide? Think the average bbs golf wheels are 5/6J? But dont quote me on it, I am most likely wrong lol

EDIT

Whats that bodykit?? Only just noticed.

I know its 4 X 100 but I am wondering if they will be too wide, or rub on the inside of my coilover?

i think my current wheels are 7J.

Its a BBS kit so i want some wider wheels to fill it really.

Have you actually got the wheels? Or wanting to get the info before you buy them.
My advise is to get the part numbers off the wheels and goole them maybe. I'm sure I found a wheel size/fitment guide on here for the mk2.
Get on the search bar at the top of the page and look for the guide and match up the wheels in question accordingly mate

thanks man, Is that good for me ha?

No I havent bought them yet, dont want to get too attached incase they wont work.

I reckon they'll look decent, but no one else seems to share this idea so far .

No worries, Zender used to offer the same wheels as BMW fit hence the lower offset.

Those wheels are of a E36 Beemer I think, so should go straight on if I am not mistaken.

Yeah, they'll be on the back of the spoke iirc.
He mentioned he hadn't bought them so would need to contact seller I assume? From my memory they came as 15x7 4x100 et20  :nerd:
Happy to be corrected though.
