mk6 gtd/gti spare size

[SteBrown91]

Hi all, my GTD is missing a spare wheel. I am watching a local one on eBay but want to double check the size.

Please could someone with a mk6 gtd/gti check the size of theirs? Preferably one fitted on on standard 17s.

I know the standard golf has a 16 inch space saver but seen quite a few 18 inch ones advertised as for mk5/6

Cheers

I checked with a couple of friends who have Mk 6 GTD and Mk 7 Golf GTD and their ( spacesaver ) spare wheels are as follows:

Mk 6 GTD

3 1/2 J x 18 H2
ET 25.5 mm
Part number 1K0601027B
Tyre size - T125/70 R18 99 M - tubeless CST 17
Tyre make – Continental


Mk 7 GTD

3 1/2 J x 18 H2
ET 25.5 mm
Part number 1K0601027AP
Tyre size - T125/70 R18 99 M - tubeless CST 17
Tyre make - Continental


For all intents and purposes they are identical / interchangeable – both Mk 6 and Mk 7 Golf use the same 5x112 mm PCD wheel bolt circle


I hope this is useful to you :-)
