just a thought, but people fit mk3 alloys on mk1's all the time, and to the best of my knowledge they were a direct fit (no spigot required)
so if thats the case, it would confirm that the mk3 is a 54.1 centre bore as well. from a brief browse on google most sources seem to say 54.1mm as well
by all means check to confirm though. if this is the case then it makes the rear conversion even easier!!
This is great news!
Hopefully get them fitted before the next trackday now. Bonus.
Ok.....
The Mk3 has a stepped hub, I just measured it. The disc sits on a 54.99mm O.D. shallow step, and the disc I.D. is 55.10mm. The smaller main part of the Mk3 hub has an O.D. of 53.99mm, explaining why the Mk3 wheels fit the Mk1, while the discs don't...

The main reason why I don't like the 6mm spacer is that I have to change the studs for longer ones. Making a strip seems alot less work than replacing the studs
Can someone please help me clear this up? I'm trying to order custom spigot rings for my Golf BBS wheels (57.1 centre bore) and everywhere else I read it says that the wheels on a MK1 have a centre bore of 54.1 yet above it says that wheels are 53.99Originally Posted by keri-WMS
The studs are a piece of cake to replace, you hammer the old ones out and the new ones push in from behind. Less than a minute for each stud!
Mk1.5 No.13, sold and gone!
i replaced the studs with longer ones on my car but i m struggling to get them to sit flush against the back of the hub any ideas
Can you stick a wheel on and then do the bolts up in series a turn at a time to gently draw it all down square? Or just stick a big fuck off windy gun on it...
