@kibim

The centre bore of the hub is 57.1mm (std) and so is the S3 rim.
the adapters will be made up according to those sizes.

If i understand correctly, spigots wont be needed?

Hey Guys

Very old thread revival.

I want to fit a Jetta VR6 5 stud rim to a MK1 golf which is 4 stud.

Can you advise if adapters or drilling the hubs are the way to go?

Any recommendations on where I can source some adapters in the Gauteng area?

MkI PCD is 4x100 and MKIII VR6 PCD is 5x100 so you can redrill the hubs without too much issue, I had this done on my ex Caddy to run MkIII Golf VR6 wheels.

Thanks for the advise guys.

Got a quote of R2950 for the adapters.

Will try and find a place for drilling, if the price is anywhere close to the adapters I might as well just go the adapter route.

You'll probably pay a third for drilling...

A year or two ago those adaptors went for under R2k IIRC.
