Title: Offset / Stud dimater
Post by: msond on 03 April 2007, 11:06

Hello,

For a Mk 3 Golf GTi (8v - 96 P), is the stud diameter 5 x 112 and the offset ET 38?

Will the 17" Santa Monica's from the mk 4 GTi fit without any problems onto a Mk 3 GTi?

Thanks

the stud diameter on the mk3 gti is 5x100. not too sure about the offset think its around 32-38, not 100% sure tho.

Ace is right for both, you can get adapters. Not sure where from and if you can get adapters for 100 to 112 though sorry.

cant get adaptors for 5x100 - 5x112.

IIRC there is too much overlap making them unsafe!

but yea, the mk3 is 5x100, and im pretty sure standard offset is 36, or possibly 38  :undecided:

8v are 100 and the 16v and VR6 are 112. If you have the latter you can invest in lovely new audi wheels

^^^^^^^^

you live in a different world from the rest of the mk3 clan then.....  :shocked: :shocked:  :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

if you have anything other than a gti/vr6 it will have 4x100 pcd (4 stud) , 8v gti , 16v gti and 2.8 vr6 all share the same 5x100 pcd (5 stud) pattern , the offset ranges between 32-38 any of these you be fine......

and yes mk4 golf 'santa monicas' will fit youll need lower profile tyres than what they use on the mk4 though....

My PCD on my mk3 16v 5 stud are 112, hence fitting Audi RS4 alloys

Title: Re: Offset / Stud dimater

wrong.... - 4 points....

you have rs4 'copy' alloys.... which run the 5x100 stud pattern.....


thankyou please

or you may have wheel adaptors, but i doubt that as they would stick out more

Only the newest motors in the VAG group I.E> 05-06 onwards have slowly been making a transition over to 5x112 fitment, anything before that would be a 5x100 as gaz has been saying.

Sorry matey but you have 5x100 hubs, and 5x100 wheels. Even with wobble bolts you wouldn't get the wheels on as the holes just wouldn't line up enough.

They were bought off a guy who got them to fit his Passat with PCD 100, they didn't fit  :huh:

Title: Re: Offset / Stud dimater
Post by: topher on 04 April 2007, 17:25

88 - 97 passats were 4x100, all others have been 5x112

Title: Re: Offset / Stud dimater
Post by: kniterider on 04 April 2007, 17:26

they guy you bought them off.... well he knows about as much as you then.... passats are 112 pcd (later 5 stud ones).... which is why your 5x100 pcd rs4 copy wheels would not fit his passat and they fit yours.....

lesson learnd i think

mk3 5 stud cars are 5X100 PCD

You sure you are not getting this mixed up? Does he have a new passat? which would make his 112, and the alloys were 100 hence why they wouldn't fit?

That sounds more likely.

Thanks for your help Knightrider.

If the Santa Monica's will fit, do the Audi TT 6 spoke 17" alloys also fit?

Tyre wise, I was thinking of using 205/40/17.

Title: Re: Offset / Stud dimater
Post by: Len on 05 April 2007, 16:28

According to that link above then yes they do!

Tyre size is fine, you could go to 215/40's if ya like.
