Title: MK5 Golf Wheel Specification
Post by: AdeMcG on November 08, 2011, 09:52:41 am
Ok guys I am looking at buying some winter wheels, to save my Charleston's from the harsh salty winter  :innocent:

but Looking across the VAG range (Seat / Audi/ Skoda) there is many different wheel set ups, but I am looking at a set from a Seat and these are the specs

17 WHEELS
PDC = 5x112
FITMENT ET:35-45  (doesn't specify a specific number / nominal ET)

Should these fit?
They are from a SEAT Exeo :confused:

And I presume the all important dimension is the PDC, as long as they are 5 x 112 I should be ok?
Does the ET matter that much ??

Thoughts as always appreciated guys ! :wink:

Should be fine as long as the wheel is no bigger than 7.5J which i am guessing it wont be, being a steelie.  :happy2:

People run wheels with a et of 35 but that's about the limit anything above that into the early 50s is fine to
It all depends on Wheel width the diameter and tyre size/profile

It isn't a Steelie.....they are Alloy wheels, from a 2009 Seat Exeo.



they are these wheels according to the Seat Exeo brochure:
17" ‘Modena’ alloy wheels + 225/45 R17 91W tyres


The guy hasn't given me info, I got the Seat Exeo wheel spec from here:
