    Default wheel question

    hey guys my mom hit a pothole in her 96 jetta GLS. busted the inside of the wheel and its pretty much fucked. I did some quick research and found out the lug pattern is 4x100. This means wheels off of civic and stuff fit right? or is the spacing/offset different?


    anyone have a cheap wheel or set of jetta wheels? or some set of 4x100 with tires?

    stock for stock im pretty sure the hub size is smaller on a volkswagen than it is on a honda. But aftermarket u should be fine.

    you need to be carefull buying wheels for dubs, i bought some when i had my cabby that were supposed to fit i then had to grind down my calipers a bit to make them fit w/o tearing up the inside of the wheel.

    Buy a used Jetta wheel and save the grief of improper fitment....
