Just out of interest, would 17" Audi TT Competition's fit a mk5 without adapters?  :confused:  :popcornsoda:

you'll be needing 5x112 for a start and although you would be able to get them on with adaptors but to be honest for a 17" it wouldnt really be worth it unless you were aiming at light weight competition rims, and even then i wouldnt use adaptors if youre going to be tracking the car  :happy2:
