As title really, was wondering if the 18" MK2 vrs alloys would fit straight on my MK1 vrs. I think there about the best looking wheels to suit the shape seeing as the MK1 and MK2 are very similar.

Sadly not, the PCD and ET are different :thumbdwn:

Perhaps with adaptors it could work. Mk1 and 2 have PCDs of 100 and 112 respectively. So 100>112 adaptors would solve that.

ET (offset) on a Mk1 is around 35, IIRC. But what for Mk2 - low 50s? If so, a 20mm thick adaptor would increase the offset accordingly, and bring the Mk2 wheel out nearer the edge of the arch on the Mk1.

A bit of thinking out loud really, but checking those details out might prove worthwhile

Also, can't imagine Mk2 rims on a Mk1. Get someone to 'shop them onto an image too!

..............in other words, a lot of faffing around to 'make' them fit but is it really worth it when there are so many other options with the correct PCD and ET?

I wouldn't disagree, but with a bit of investigation it could just be down to getting the right thickness of adaptor.

Down to the OP to decide how much he likes the Mk2 vRS wheel design

Think out aloud all you like if your going to come up with good info like that;) Where could i buy adaptors to suit or is it a case of getting some made to order? As for photo chop, computers really arent my thing and wouldnt know where to start. So imagination will have to suffice for me:)

Darren

Adaptors should be obtainable 'off the shelf'. You just need to find out what the ET/offset figure for the Mk2 wheels is. Then you can see what thickness of adaptor is best.

If you post a side-on photo of your car, I'm sure someone with skills will pop the Mk2 wheels on the image for you.
