the reason i asked about the wheels is i knew a boy with a mk 4 who bouht audi replica alloys with multi fitment but he was supplied with the wrong offset and cracked his front o/s caliper after a few weeks driving they were 19" though

As you got new calipers you could sell your old ones to someone with a 2.0 to upgrade to 312mm  :wink:
