Not sure about VAG but PSA fit welded in collars to the bolt holes of their steel spare wheels so the one set of wheelbolts is suitable, have a close look at your spare.

Do the steel wheels you have bought look like they have collars in the bolt holes similarly?

To be doubly sure put a wheel bolt through one of each wheeltype and measure the amount of thread showing, should be the same, also check the seat of the bolt where the head sits, some cars use taper and some are curved.

If the wheelbolt sticks out too much they could damage your rear brake shoes if fitted.

I think you'll find it DOES have rear brake shoes fitted ;-)

Thanks Mike, i wasn't sure if it was fitted with rear discs/pads only, possibly the higher spec models?

So long as the bolt seats are correct you're in business LL, enjoy your winter grip.

Many thanks for the most important post, the update, too few bother.
