It is possible but to do it properly its a heck of a lot of work or you can get adapters but the are not recommended.

Choose some different wheels!

Just for info, VW made 15" 5 stud wheels, they were a option as winter spec.

Also, any Mk4 steel wheels from the lower spec models will fit.*

*Maybe not the 14" ones, although the PCD will be the same, they might not go over the brakes.

Correct 14"s will not fit over the brakes.
