how to choose wheels that fit my golf?

[ellion]

hello,

i am not sure if this is the right section to make this post. sorry.

i have just bought a 2002 golf mk4. the first thing i want to do is to get some nice wheels for it from ebay. can any tell me what is the correct fitting specs for this model.

i have been looking at some audi a4 and tt wheels, does anybody know if the tt or a4 fit on this model.

failing this is there anything else i should consider when selecting wheels.

thanks in advance.

First thing would be to make sure they're the right stud pattern. i.e; 5 X 100 for a MK4 golf. original TT or A4 wheels wouldn't fit (i believe) as they're 5 x 112. But plenty of replicas available. Most places would be happy to provide advice - all you really need to do is say 'i want these wheels in MK4 golf fitment...'
