    Subaru Wheels for VR6?

    Has anyone used Subaru / WRX wheels on a VR6 or other 5 stud vw bolt pattern?

    I want 16 or 17s for my Passat VR6 and the Subaru ones are cheap.
    The offset is I think 55 for Subaru and 38 For Golf.

    Anyone tried em? With / Without clearance issues.

    the centre bore on a suby is smaller than a VW so they would need to be modified if they are OEM wheels. Aftermarket usually have a large centre bore and just use rings to fill the void.

    This is what i understand anyways. I looked into putting liberty B4 rims on my VR6 but it was a no go for the above reason from memory. and the offset is just a bit too much
