you've gotta get the right fixing kit if there aftermarket wheels, if there genuine vw then that should b ok, but as i said before a pic would let me know 4 certain

the hub dosent look to be that big, did they fit straight on or did u need rings or spacers? without a load of hassle of getting new bolts drive about 30 miles is what recommended and go back to the tyre garage and get them to re-torque them at 120nm then u can be sure they will be ok

they fit straight on didnt need rings or spacers ...... i already drove more than 30 miles it seems fine ...... might get longer wheel bolts to make sure tho
