nope cos 5 stud has different thread pitch to 4 stud, you want M14X1.5. Thread is 27mm long, though some aftermarket wheels require longer bolts. oh and check the the seats in the bolt holes, VAG wheels generally have ball seating, aftermarket are tapered

bugger,
nightmare....
well ya can see what wheels i have,
sivdubgti sold me some but they were too small but were long enough...
didnt realise that the 4 stud were thinner
any particular place that do them??
ebay is crap for gti ones yet have thousands of 4 stud types
cheers for the advice!

I ordered a set from Speedshack, the three pin type, comes with steel caps and a plastic puller.  The chap there knows his stuff and very helpful.
