16" Wheels
« on: 13 July 2010, 21:35 »
Hi Everyone,

Quick question what standard VW / Audi alloys can I fit to a mk4? Basically car is fitted with Monty IIs which I love but garage have said one is buckled and as all 4 need a refurb I thought it might be better to buy 4 different one's. I know the PCD is 5x100 but what will actually fit as A3, A4 and Beetle wheels are all 5x100 and there seems to be lots on the auction site but is there something else I should be looking at with reagards to fiiting a mk4?

If anyone is local to CW11 and has some 16" alloys for a GT TDI let me know.

Thanks,

Sorry I don't particularly want to swap them and as they are pretty bad I doubt you would want to anyway (They are the worst I have ever seen and one is badly buckled!). Although if you just want to sell yours rather than swap can you send me some pics and a price?

My intention is to get a temporary set that look good for now and keep my eye open for just one good one thats not silly money and then get all 4 refurbed and put back on the car.

Are all A4 wheels 5x112? Shame if they are as they do some really nice wheels that I think would look good on a MK4.

What does: 5Jx16H2 ET42 mean and would these fit from a Beetle? I guess the 16 is the diameter and one must be the offset but not sure how to translate this into will it fit a MK4, so any help would be appreciated.

Yes all A4's are 5x112

5j is the width and et42 is the offset.

So will 5J fit 205 55 tyres? And is ET42 the right offset? If this is the wrong offset what do I need to look for?

Thanks,
