no, cos mk4 is 5 stud, ie 5x100

mk2 nd 3 are 4 stud ie 4x100


thought they were 4x110, my bad

[vwchloe]

hey no sorry the wheels im looking at now are 5x100 5 stud. I'm going to keep hold of the ronals as i know the likehood of me getting another mk2 at some point haha

[houston]

do you know the width and the offset?

yeah they will fit the studs, but need a little more info.

is your car a standard gti? 15 inch wheels wont fit if you have the 312mm brakes fitted than came on the annis

Just to add to the debate on 15" alloys.

I have an early 1.8t GTI and the original wheels that came with it (and are still on at the moment) and they are 15" 5 spoke wheels. I still see them on a lot of the earlier models.

So 15" wheels will fit on the GTi with no issues, although I agree with most of the posts suggesting that 15's look a little lost under the arches. Im not sure I agree about alloys needing to be 18" though - it depends if you want your car to stand out as modified or not. The more subtle 16" and 17" wheels look better in my opinion.

for example:
