15 is 15" tyre size yes.

6j is the wheel width 6" wide.

Et38 is the wheel offset, i.e distance from mounting face of the alloy to the centre line of the wheel.

bolt style is pcd (pitch circle diameter) which is the same for all mk4's

I did not think any mk4 had 14" wheels due to the brake sizes.

14's will fit on poverty spec models, I don't think they'll fit over 288mm brakes on Gti's though

288mm brakes will need 15" wheels
