Just like the title says. Im seriously looking at some 5 spoke 15" stock Jetta wheels. Pics (or photoshops) would be great.

yeah. if they're 5X100, and the tire fits in the wheel well, then they'll work.

you're talking about these, here:

Dave, do wheels such as those actually fit onto the rotor hub like the stock Fiero wheels, or is it just the lug nuts that keep the wheel centered? Or is there a centering collar or ring (or whatever it's called) that can be used on the hub?

Yeah. I was going to say the same thing. Whats the center bore of the VW wheels? Guru? The Fiero has a bore of 57.1mm. I thought the VW was smaller and needed to be machined out. I may be mixing them up with aome other cars though.

Aftermarket wheels are almost always larger in the center bore. Centering rings are used to allign everything correctly.

no boring of the rim needed to be done. I also didn't need to use hubcentric rings. The hub sizes are almost identical.

VW must use same size as Subaru. Suby is 57mm. Only .1mm small then fiero. Thats a whole list of other wheels that will work. Thanks Guru!

This is my wife's VR6 Fiero that I built for her. The GTI rims were the perfect ending for the German drivetrain.
