Hey guys, I wondered if you would help. I just got my first mk4 after having 2 mk3's and a mk2. I have some ronal alloys which i would love to put on the mk4. however I dont think it is possible as I can only find adaptors to 4 stud hubs.
have you guys got any ideas or maybe alternative alloys which are 5 stud that you recommend.
any help would be great. Many Thanks Chloe :smiley:
-
let us no what the stud pattern of your wheels are and size etc and i'll do some digging!
-
im guessing 4x110
problem is that the bolt holes clash with each other, there is adaptors that get around this with an offset bolt but they are very expensive and not really worth it, talking 200 a pair!
-
thanks guys.
i was just looking on ebay, will a 15 inch 5x100 fit on the mk4? i found some nice deep dish wheels. maybe its best if its too much hassle to keep the ronals for a rainy day or a future project.
Thanks

Anything under 17s look silly in my opinion but then again every one has their own :)
-
you wont get 15's on, no lower than 17's to be honest
-
17" or 18" is the best bet anything else looks small on a mk4.

Depends - some 2.0 come with 15" wheels :smiley:

Spot on, a guy in work has a 2.0 with 15"s, 16" were an option I believe but standard on Turbos.

Correct :wink:
-
just get some 18's and slam it you will only regret it if you dont :cool:
-
so they will fit? the idea is to lower the car on coilovers so hopefully it would look pretty cool with 15s, i think it has either 15 or 16s on it now tbh.
what you guys recon, its silver and these alloys are like deep dish pepperpot style. :smiley:

15"s are too small really but 16"s can look good if it slammed, what wheels are they.
-
there old audi wheels i think, i have an image with them on and it all slammed i might go for it and keep you guys updated with my work on the mk4. :tongue: I'm really loving having a car with power sterring and dish brakes all round :smiley:

You might be looking @ custom adaptors which will not be cheap.
-
15s will fit over 288s, wont fit over 312s
theres a mk4 round here on 15s, looks surprisingly good when its lowered on its arse
-
adapters because of the pcd?
-
adapters because of the pcd?
Yes :afro:
-
As rule of thumb,std bumpers 17's,anni kit 18's,R32 bumpers 19's.
-
ahhh the pcd is a 100 which i think is right for the mk4?
-

no, cos mk4 is 5 stud, ie 5x100
mk2 nd 3 are 4 stud ie 4x100
thought they were 4x110, my bad
-
hey no sorry the wheels im looking at now are 5x100 5 stud. I'm going to keep hold of the ronals as i know the likehood of me getting another mk2 at some point haha
-
do you know the width and the offset?
yeah they will fit the studs, but need a little more info.
is your car a standard gti? 15 inch wheels wont fit if you have the 312mm brakes fitted than came on the annis
-
thanks dude, o no i'm a young dubber so its a standard 1.6 16v :rolleyes:

Just to add to the debate on 15" alloys.
I have an early 1.8t GTI and the original wheels that came with it (and are still on at the moment) and they are 15" 5 spoke wheels. I still see them on a lot of the earlier models.
So 15" wheels will fit on the GTi with no issues, although I agree with most of the posts suggesting that 15's look a little lost under the arches. Im not sure I agree about alloys needing to be 18" though - it depends if you want your car to stand out as modified or not. The more subtle 16" and 17" wheels look better in my opinion.
