so your after Audi TT competition wheels? (the 5 spoked polished bad boys)

Cound change the hubs for mk3 gti ones i think and the TT's should bolts right on.\

Easiest option would be to buy hub adaptors but this might cause the wheels to stick out more

you will have to roll the arches and cut the trim to fit them and swap hubs for mk3 ones or fit adapters pain in the arse, my brothering law got my old mk2 with 16in alloys and i had to cut the front lips off the wings for them to fit ,ive got audi tt comp wheels on my mk3 lowered 70mm and i just get away with no mods the mk3 have much more room under arches ,but if you fit these wheels i agree they look wicked on mk2s

If you are going to cut the trims then make sure you get them welded back up again, especially at the back as there is a seam running along the arch. Do not just whack some filler in there and paint over it.

As mentioned the best option is to change the hubs to mk3 ones, and they will bolt straight on. If you want to put an adapter on then it will push the wheel out by at least 15mm, if not 20. So add that to the ET of the wheel and then get measuring.

Happy trails.  :cool:

btw, from what I've heard putting mk3 hubs on a mk2 is a sl*t of a job.
if you welcome a challenge :D
