Doubt they will fit, I think they are 14" so will not fit over the front brakes.

Well if yours is 14" then yes they will fit but I thought all cabrios were 2.0 with the bigger brakes.

Mines a 1997 golf cabrio 1.8. It has nasty after market 15's on now but I think the steels that were original we're 14. Just wondered about stud pattern etc.

Stud pattern is 4x100 same as a mk2 so no issues, if it is a 1.8 then it may have 256mm front brakes in which case they will fit.

Ha ha, wish I was knowledgable! I always try search for stuff and just get bored! I've bought them now and they've only cost me 25 quid on eBay in good condition. Got travel two hours get them but if they don't fit when I get them home then I'll flog them. Seen some sprayed light grey and they look pretty good so fingers crossed I'll do that. Cheers for the help!!
