Whilst looking for some wheels for the Octavia, I came across a listing on ebay that said the following would fit my car,

Audi A2

Audi A3 (mk1)

Audi TT (mk1)

VW Bora

VW New Beetle

VW Corrado

VW Golf Mk3

VW Golf Mk4

VW Polo

MG ZT

Rover 75

Seat Ibiza

Seat Leon

Seat Toledo

Skoda Fabia

Subaru Forester

Subaru Impreza

Subaru Legacy

Toyota Avensis

Toyota Carina

Toyota Celica

Surely not all these are a simple bolt on replacement? If so, there'd be people on here running Scooby wheels wouldn't there? Ideally I want some original Spider alloys, but this seems to give me far more choice than the usual VAG Group offerings.

They may initially bolt on ok as long as the pcd is the same. But as for offest's. They will be all over the place i'd imagine. Some may seem ok until you turn the front wheels and they fowl the arch etc. Put it this way, I wouldn't take that as gospel even though there may be a degree of truth in it..

EDIT: except for the VAG group cars on that list that should fit with no problems if the car is standard.

the scooby wheels share the pcd but the centre spigot is smaller on the scoob so requires machining out also as said the offset is different.

i know because i have some scooby rims and couldn't resist trying

I had TT wheels on my MKIV Golf GT TDi a few years ago.

Finding ones with the right offset was quite a challenge - the first set I bought was wrong and fouled the arch slightly on full lock. Made a profit on eBay and then got a better set off a TT Forum!
