gary.scales 0 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hi all, hope someone can advise quickly.My daughter has a MK3 1.4 and I bought her some wheels which are the same as mine, which was a nice thought, I thought. Wheels and hubs on this car are 4 stud. I then found a MK3 GTI and bought that for her. Myself and two of my kids have 3, 3 door MK3 Golfs and I am loving that!Anyway, obviously, now I want to put the new wheels I bought for the 1.4 on the GTI now but they are 5 stud. My question is, is it possible to swap the hubs (or whatever they are called) from the 1.4 to the GTI? Or is it more complicated that this? Any advice would be appreceiated. I realise we are not talking VR6's here but sure you can advise because my drive looks great!! :-)Have probably put this in the wrong place as I have no idea how to post properly, one day i will read how to do it!! sorry mods.....Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Seems like more hassle than its worth... read this thread, quite long but tells you the work involved... http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=129993.0;wap2will be cheaper and easier to buy new wheels, plenty of 5 stud wheels out there...

thegoth 5 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 is it possible to swap the hubs (or whatever they are called) from the 1.4 to the GTI? Or is it more complicated that this? I'm assuming VW put 5 stud hubs on the GTi and VR6 for a reason ;-) Link to post Share on other sites

CALICO 130 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 im sure fk or similar will sell 5x100-4x100 hubcentric adapters but as Nige says the more powerful cars are all 5 stud but then the rs turbo was only ever 4 stud and 160bhp standard Link to post Share on other sites
