cafcross Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 In a word no.Best bet is changing the hubs for Mk3 Golf hubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cafcross Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 No idea about the ABS, but they will fit.The only other option is to have either your hubs or the wheels welded and re-drilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cafcross Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Best bet is having the holes redrilled in the wheels then. Would be easier too as you wouldn't have to take the car apart etc.I wanted Merc wheels for my GTI and was faced with the same dilemma, but couldn't be bothered with the hassle. But if you want them that bad then go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) I looked into this and found Mk3 front hubs won't fit (On my small braked lupo), some rears will though. Look at mk5 polo rear hubs too. It's fine to use 2 piece adapters, but the thickness would push the wheels too far out, especially if you want to have a nicely dished wheel.You can redrill the 4x100 hub to 5x100 without having to weld the existing holes, then run 5x100 to 5x112 adapters, but it would be a pain in the arse really!There isn't room (diameter wise) to drill the hubs to a PCD bigger than 100mm, so you'll need adapters no matter what!

LiamD Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Or how about this crackingly simple idea - get some custom adaptors made to take it from 4x100 to 5x112 pcd?http://www.red9design.co.uk/wheeladaptors.htmDon't over-think things too much chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it made up to do mine to fit Audi TT Comps, but lost interest when I couldn't get hold of a pillar drill!The jig is a 6mm steel plate (like a wheel spacer) which bolts on in 3 4x100 holes, and you run a 10.5mm drill bit down the 4 5x100 holes, then tap them. One hole is shared over both 4 and 5 stud.It's close, but should be ok:Drop me a PM if you are interested.

CopeyCupra Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 That's not possible as the holes overlap.he made the adapter witha removable chunk (sounds bad) so the adapter fitted to the wheel but onle 4 bolts were holding the wheel on i thnik. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
