Will MKIII wheels work on a MKI?

PearlJammzz · 12-09-2007, 05:23 PM

My friend is looking at getting MKIII wheels to use on his MKI. How do these fit? They sit too far in? I know the bolt pattern will work, but not sure about the offset.

Any pics or info would be nice...thanks guys

Oh man they look nice.

Same bolt pattern so it is a direct fit, I'm not sure about offset though

Davis, that car have any spacers on those wheels? They look like they sit just about perfect..

They're just right as is assuming you like a conservative stock like appearance.
They're higher offset, but wider than stock mk1 wheels so they sit just about like stockers.

if you want to compare the specs:

Sorry for the late reply, I have no idea if it had spacers or not. =\ Looks like El Paalo explained it all though.

haha, I actually looked on wheelspecs as my first stop on looking up the wheels. I found 03+ wheels are a little different than 2000-02. He is going for a real clean more stock looking look. Hopefully this is an easy/cheap way to get that. Thanks guys!

03+ wheels are half an inch wider out back IIRC.

Are the MK3 spyders 5 lugs or 4 lugs?

4x100, just like the MKI.

They're definitely not flush. I have 00-02 mk3 wheels on my '86 and the front wheels definitely look tucked a bit. I haven't bothered to measure, but both front and back could stand to be moved outward a bit more.

^ Looks good, Conor.

Does anyone use hubcentric rings for their aftermarket wheels?

EL PAALO · 02-08-2008, 02:46 AM

yes. possibly the majority.
