Title: Help please with wheels!
Post by: SW271192 on February 28, 2016, 09:03:08 am: I'm new to this and have just bought a MK5 GOLF GTI...
The car originally came with Audi A4 Sline wheels, the 5 thick spoke ones common on 2004 onwards saloons... However I decided to buy some Monza alloys for my car and when I tried them they don't fit. This may sound stupid but I just assumed they would be the same fitament, do people know what the sizes are for the Audi wheels and Monza wheels and what would I do to sort this out? Change the whole hub? Because spacers/converters will no doubt make the wheels stick out too much...

Would really appreciate some advice,
Thanks!

I've been looking for a single monza to use as a spare and there seems to be quite a few 5x100 sets on eBay atm

Sell them on and buy the correct wheel never change the car to match the wheel there plenty of right wheels out there

+1

Sounds like you've bought copies for a different fitment.

Thanks again!
