Wheels(5 stud)

[Tommy G]

Hi, i have a 1999 cordy 2.0 16v and was wondering how hard it is to fit 5 stud hubs is there a straight swap? or is it more! wanting to fit the rs4 wheels if possible! Cheers in advance Tom

rears are easy peasy, just swapp to mk3 golf gti discs

fronts are harder work needing hubs, bearings & CV joints

Thats what i thought thats quite a bit of work was just hoping could straight swap guess thats just being lazy! got photoshop 9 but not sure how to edit wheels onto it as i would see what it would look like, (see if its worth the hassle)

How about fitting some bolt on PCD adapters to go from you existing 4 stud to a 5 stud fitting.
This is dependent on the offset of your new wheels and the thickness of your PCD adapters.

omly prob with that is wheels will be 7.5 or 8 wide and lowered so dont know if that will fit under the arch or not!?

You're not talking 18's are you? If so I wouldn't bother, getting them to fit is a PITA, and they don't look right.

Yeah was thinking 18's but was really only a thought! i would be buying new so could get the right fitment, i've got 17s on there now with not a single problem but dont like the look of them

buy other 4 stud 17's then

18's just aren't right

i prob will buy other 17's, but thats why i asked bout 18's and if it was easy to change! aint that what this foram about

18's look crap on a Cordy IMO. Too big.
