Will these wheels fit?

[northeast_gti-t]

If they are fitted with mk4 tyres you will need to change them to 195/45/16's or you will screw the gearing and speedo up.

tyres on my mk3 are 195/50/15 so if using the monty 2's i assume therefore i would need 195/40/16 tyres to keep my gearing/speedo accurate

Nope 195/45/16, 205/45/16 or 215/40/16 are the choices, 215/40 was the factory size on an Anni

nice one thanks for the useful info

Update: Got new tyres fitted today, and going to have the wheels fitted on the car tomorrow. Are you guys sure that the vw emblems won't fit? I can't be bothered adding a spacer - it isn't legal here in Denmark, and don't want to go through the trouble of finding the correct one. However, I still really would like the VW emblems.. Maybe I can sand them back a bit and they will fit? I mean if the spacer only needs to be 3 mm, it shouldn't be that much? Cheers

it's the caps that go over the rear bearing nuts that's foul, you may be able to knock them in a few mm (it may give a few mm to let you fit caps)

Thought you said my 205/45/16 were too big Wayne?

The thread in question was reference 17" wheels so might be best to check what your posting

Looks like I'm gonna need 5mm spacers.. 3mm seems like it would be a bit too tight a fit... Is it a possibility to knock the wheel bearing caps a bit flat, or is that dangerous?

No Wayne you said my wheel/tyre combination was greater than the standard rolling radius.
Funny how you twist things when you are baltantly wrong!

Just for you, let me repost the info, I never siad greater but they are the wrong size, not that you will listen 

Specification  Sidewall  Radius  Diameter  Circumference  Revs/Mile  Difference

205/50-15         4.0in  11.5in    23.1in         72.5in        874        0.0%
205/40-17         3.2in  11.7in    23.5in         73.7in        860        1.7%
215/40-17         3.4in  11.9in    23.8in         74.7in        848        3.0%

So as I said they will throw the speed / gearing out to a bigger degree against 205/40's
