MK5 wheels on MK3?
« on: 25 July 2005, 01:45 »
I was wondering whether it would be possible to fit some mk5 golf gti alloys (5 stud) on my mk3 golf (5 stud) and would I face any problems???

Anyone done this before??

Any info would be great...

thanks

Used to have a '97 MK3 16v GTI 3dr in 'Black Magic'... now have a '55 Civic Type-S...

you'd need adaptors, vw didn't continue the 5x100 pcd from the mk3/mk4 over onto the mk5 .. pretty sure its 5x112 (audi/lamborghini fitment)
