No.

The PCT will either be 5x100mm or 5x112 on newer VW's

The Passat is 5x112, if the A3 is a newer model it will also have 5x112.


The other thing that is very important is the offset of the centre line of the wheel to the hub. This is a measured as ET.

I don't know what the ET is on either the Passat or the A3 but the number should be as close as is possible. ET38 seems to ring a bell, but check your wheels, it will be stamped on the inside.

Getting the ET wrong can cause the car to handle like a bit of a pig.

I found this quite useful when looking for wheels for the Bora
