yes and no :| they are the same pcd 160x5 but they have 14mm studs instead of 12mm on the mk1-5 also they are hub centred where as the mk5 is stud centred :D

Unless you have a twin wheeler - they will fit if you open out the stud holes

errrm I think you have the wrong idea...

If you have a twin wheeler buy a new set of wheels and open up the holes to 16mm dia. Use your original studs and nuts.

If you have a 5 stud van then there is no easy way to make it work, as there is no really enough meat on the hubs to allow larger studs to be fitted.
