C5 Steel Wheels

I've just brought a set off a friend my question is will they bolt straight on using the old wheel bolts or do I need new bolts spacer thanks guys

You need tapered bolts - 205 GTi alloys use flat seat bolts.

 

205 steel wheel bolts will do, but really you should use the proper C5 bolts with a tapered washer.

 

(I'm assuming that these are the revised C5 wheels you've got and not the original type that should have been recalled, which from memory were a flat seat wheel bolt)
