No they wont because the stud pattern will be 5x112 and the vw's are 5x100..

You can buy hub adapters though, so then they will fit. There probably about £120ish second hand

If you buy porsche, mercedes, and most audi rims you will need hub adaptors as they all have different stud patterns mate

the adaptors to fit these help modify the offset of most merc rims ... try venom and ask what width etc you need to fit these wheels without them rubbing etc
