Title: 15" Steelies on a Mk4 1.8T (AUM)
Post by: B19ALB on 05 June 2014, 15:40: Hi all,

I managed to buy a set of 4 genuine 5 stud steelies from a boot sale recently, thinking they were 16" (same diameter as my alloys), but turns out they're 15's. I dont know which model VW they came from but how can I tell if they'll be ok to fit (before I go through the expense of putting rubber on them)!? Are the standard brakes going to be ok behind them?

I thought they'd come in handy when I come to get my Montreal 2's refurbed, or just use them for the winter months. I think they've got a serial number on them but not sure what to do with it lol.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Is there a part number stamped on them anywhere?

All MK4's are 5x100 aren't they?

Yes but the op post did not say they were from a mk4 or indeed which model VW :smiley:

That is why I suggested checking they are 5x100
