15" Steelies on a Mk4 1.8T (AUM)

[B19ALB]

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!

Jack a corner up and put one on your car.

Is there a part number stamped on them anywhere?

You'll be ok as long as you have the 288mm fronts

Just make sure they are 5x100 could be from a base spec mk4

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

It's that bit that got me.

That is why I suggested checking they are 5x100

Took your advice and swapped a wheel over and it fits fine (thankfully!). just need to get some rubber fitted now!

Thanks for your help guys.
